Hello everyone, i am trying to limit/hide the available options in an entity (select.dishwasher_program) since there are like 10 options and i would only need like 3 of the available options.
I feel like there should be a simple way to filter the available options but after 2 hours of googling i am coming up empty. is there a property (or card mod?) way to archive this?
current (relevant) Yaml :
Thanks in advanced for any pointers

A tile card with a select feature lets you customize the options
don't think that's available on an entities card

You could make a template select helper with just the subset you care about as options - and then use that as your entity in the card

mh then i probably need to modify the whole card i copied from somebody far more capable then me in yaml. thanks alot for the info, i thought - ah thank you hilburn i figured that if i am not able to do it via the frontend a helper should probably be able to do the trick, i will look into that

i know this is technicly not frondend anymore, but am i correct that i cannot use the select template helper to directly set the original Select entity? if that is the case i probably need to use an automation to "sync" the selects

I think you can
use a select.select_option action instead of a device action
as the selected option I think you can use {{ option }}

at least im not able to make it work, if i try to save it it changes to "[object Object]": null

i always stumble over the quotes, i lack a fundamental understanding of yaml sadly, i only really know powershell as a programming language 😅 that seems to work, now i only need to get the options to work currently im getting Failed to perform the action select/select_option. Error rendering data template: Result is not a Dictionary but im still tinkering / trying around
spiral marlin
that works thanks! last question : is there a way to set a "friendly name" for the options? the original select does have them for some options, but i was unable to find any attribute in the developer options for it

No I don't believe so, I didn't think selects supported that
