Browser and Operating System:

Chrome or Firefox

Description of problem:

In Automation.yaml I have this automation:

- id: Incoming call
  alias: call
  trigger:
    platform: state
    entity_id: sensor.phone
    to: ringing
  action:
  - service: tts.google_say
    data_template:
      message: Call From {{ states.sensor.phone.attributes.from_name }}
      entity_id: media_player.mpd 

everything work well.
If I edit this automation with 'Automation Editor' it doesn't show correctly and data_template statememt is not available

Javascript errors shown in the web inspector (if applicable):

Would love to see this working, is the only thing stopping from fully manage automations thru the editor. need to fallback to the yaml to edit things.

still an issue

at least data_template can be edited via "Edit as YAML"

This is still an issue, and the workaround as @Jazzi0 says is to edit the YAML in the GUI.

Still an issue in 0.107.7

any progress to this? I just wondered why the editor just shows nothing until I found this open bug ;)

[TheEris]

using "Edit as YAML" works, but when reloading automations with the editor, it breaks the formatting of the template.
from:
"{{ state_attr('weather.domov', 'forecast')[0].condition }}"

it "converts" it into:
'{{ state_attr(''weather.domov'', ''forecast'')[0].condition }}'

and that doesn't work...
