When using automations to trigger a notification I often want to use templates to customise the message. A very simple example is below.
message: {{states("input_text.alarm_trigger")}} Triggered the Alarm
I can no longer use the visual editor to edit my service call beacuse
- Templates not supported in visual editor
It would be great to use templates in messages for notifications without being dropped out into YAML.

Agree, it is a pain then try to remember what options there are and have to go look them up to make changes to a existing notify.notify etc.
You have to make all the changes you want to the action then paste in your template.

This was an issue and the official word appeared to be there was no intent to fix.
But then 2022.5 add the template selector.
So it seems completely feasible that this could be resolved.
