WTH is event entity information so limited in the logbook?

Month of "What the heck?!"

When trying to create automations using Event entities, it’s difficult (unless I’m missing something) to know what the attribute values are of the Event entity I’m trying to trigger on. It would be useful to be able to see all of the information associated with an event, but it’s not there in the logbook.

As an example, here’s what we see from an NFC event in the UniFi Protect integration:

How can I know what to look for from the event without examamples from the logbook?

it’s an event entity, it was triggered at the time and the event_type is scanned. That’s all you need to know.

So I don’t need to know, for example, the NFC ID that was scanned, from the nfc_id attribute?

Is that an attribute on the entity?

Yes, it is.

Then it would be nice if the event entities showed those attributes on the more info page, good WTH
