Feature Request: Template filters don't work with special options

[Lululoe]

It does not seem to be possible to use special options with template as the "query" instead of include. Using both include and template will set for example the card type defined in options for the results from include but not from template, which will result in a "card type not found error.

type: custom:auto-entities
card:
  type: vertical-stack
card_param: cards
filter:
  template: |
    {%
            set grouped =
            states.light
            | selectattr('entity_id', 'in', area_entities('Wohnzimmer'))
            | selectattr('attributes.entity_id', 'defined')
            | map(attribute='attributes.entity_id')
            | expand()
            | map(attribute='entity_id')
            | list
    %} {{
            states.light
            | selectattr('entity_id', 'in', area_entities('Wohnzimmer'))
            | rejectattr('entity_id', 'in', grouped)
            | selectattr('attributes.entity_id', 'undefined')
            | map(attribute='entity_id')
            | list
    }}
  options:
    type: custom:big-slider-card
    attribute: brightness
    transition: 0.3
    colorize: true
    show_percentage: true
    bold_text: true
    hold_time: 600
    settle_time: 3000
    tap_action:
      action: toggle
    hold_action:
      action: more-info
sort:
  method: entity_id
  reverse: false
  ignore_case: false

Yes, this is written in Docs. The options option is a part of include & exclude filters. So, your issue should be a FEATURE REQUEST - then name it accordingly.

searching has led me here, hoping for the same thing. I'm using a template to only include the 'master' of speaker groups in media_player, but in doing so I must give up using custom:mini-media-player card, so that's a shame. For now I'll have to decide if I want a pretty representation of 3 cards showing the same thing, or 1 bland one.

Looking for the same thing. What a shame
