18.1.1 data lost

[7c]

Just updated to 18.1.1 - disaster in my home.... it threw error to almost all nodes. But particularly when i copy & paste a "api-call-service". Node throws:

"HomeAssistantError: required key not provided @ data['entity_id']"

After debugging little bit further:

i found that the entityId is not copied, but on the UI i also do not see the fields to enter the speakers anymore:

Click Load sample date Format has been changed {"entity_id": "media_player.all_speaker", "message": "test" }

go to import and paste:

[{"id":"3f354c0ef8226b82","type":"api-call-service","z":"55a572a719914fec","name":"","server":"272f759e.9ee09a","version":7,"debugenabled":true,"action":"tts.cloud_say","floorId":[],"areaId":[],"deviceId":[],"entityId":["media_player.office_speaker","media_player.googlehome8713"],"labelId":[],"data":"{\"message\":\"test\"}","dataType":"jsonata","mergeContext":"","mustacheAltTags":false,"outputProperties":[],"queue":"none","blockInputOverrides":false,"domain":"tts","service":"cloud_say","x":570,"y":300,"wires":[[]]},{"id":"272f759e.9ee09a","type":"server","name":"Home Assistant","addon":true}]

run it, it works, once you change ANY property by editing like the title and deploy. It stops working because entityId is emptied

Until it is updated, try using it as a temporary method as below There seems to be an error when the media turns off

I use it like this temporarily.
