Repair: Entities no longer have a state class, DELETE in repair does nothing

[autoSteve]

The problem

The suggested repair for an entity no longer having a state_class appears broken, despite being 'fixed' in a 2024.10 beta.

Pressing DELETE closes the dialogue, yet does not repair the issue.

Removing the old statistics from developer tools works fine, and as a flow-on removed the suggested repair as expected.

A quick reproduction does not appear possible, so this may be a longer game. Of the code proposed below I will run the state_class change until values flow to LTS, then I will revert and re-test the repair suggestion.

Will keep you posted.

Original code:

    "total_kwh_forecast_tomorrow": SensorEntityDescription(
        key="total_kwh_forecast_tomorrow",
        device_class=SensorDeviceClass.ENERGY,
        native_unit_of_measurement=UnitOfEnergy.KILO_WATT_HOUR,
        translation_key="total_kwh_forecast_tomorrow",
        name="Forecast Tomorrow",
        icon="mdi:solar-power",
        suggested_display_precision=2,
    ),

New code proposed (which caused me to encounter this because it had been reverted some time ago without me noticing the hang-over in developer tools - thanks for adding the in-your-face nag!).

    "total_kwh_forecast_tomorrow": SensorEntityDescription(
        key="total_kwh_forecast_tomorrow",
        device_class=SensorDeviceClass.ENERGY,
        native_unit_of_measurement=UnitOfEnergy.KILO_WATT_HOUR,
        translation_key="total_kwh_forecast_tomorrow",
        name="Forecast Tomorrow",
        icon="mdi:solar-power",
        suggested_display_precision=2,
        state_class=SensorStateClass.TOTAL,
    ),

Interestingly, while poking in developer tools I saw this entity with a similar recording state as the sensors that I broke by reverting code.

This issue does not have an in-your-face 'repair' suggested for it, simply linking an information dialogue in dev. tools.

Delete button is not working for me either. Once it starts working, it would be nice if there were a "delete all" button so I don't have to do it 70 times. HA is an awesome system though and it's worth it having to click 70 times.

Test confirmed.

started on 2024.10.0.

Sequence:

1. Added state_class to entities in code
2. Restarted
3. Waited ~12 hours
4. Removed state_class from entities
5. Restarted
6. Repair suggestions eventually showed up
7. Pressing DELETE does not execute the repair, just closes the dialogue
8. Upgraded to 2024.10.1
9. Repair suggestions eventually showed up
10. Pressing DELETE does not execute the repair, just closes the dialogue

For me the delete button on the entity itself is greyed out and unable to be pressed.

Sounds like a completely different issue, @xanderio.
