Hi,

I have some complex automations and the UI mode try to edit them once I reopen those automations. I would like to disable the UI mode to enforce YAML mode ony for those automations.

Is there any undocumented way to enforce YAML mode and disable the UI mode for specific automations ? I'd like to continue to use the UI mode for simple automations.

If you use packages you can create the automations in YAML and they will not be editable in the UI.
