Templating hold action fails (iOS companion)

[erkr]

Thanks for the great card. I use it a lot. Today I ran into an issue. When I template the Hold_action it doesn’t work, but same template in tap_action works fine!!
Noticed this on my iPhone using the iOS companion app, that is configured to use safari (will report back for other browsers):

The example that works fine with tap_action but fails using hold_action (this is intended to be used with Nmap device trackers):

hold_action: |
  {% set ip = state_attr(config.entity, 'ip') %}
  {% if ip %}
    { "action": "url", "url_path": "http://{{ip}}", }
  {% else %}
    { "action": "more-info" }
  {% endif %}

Cannot reproduce with a bit different code:

type: entities
entities:
  - input_boolean.test_boolean
  - type: custom:template-entity-row
    entity: sun.sun
    hold_action: >-
      {% set ip = 'google.com' -%}
      {%- if is_state('input_boolean.test_boolean','on') -%}
        { "action": "url", "url_path": "http://{{ip}}" }
      {%- else -%}
        { "action": "more-info" }
      {%- endif %}

@ildar170975 thanks for verifying! Can you please tell on which platform/browsers/mobile app you tested?!

So it is browser specific. I now verified myself on some platforms:

Working:

• On my windows PC both with Chrome and edge
• iPhone Edge
• Samsung Android 12 comp app

Not working:

• iOS companion app (iPhone)
• Full Kiosk on a android 8 tablet
• iPhone Safari browser

I tested in Chrome & Win.
Have iOS companion app (iOS 15.x), but have not tested there. Will try to do it a bit later.

Any update on this 😉

Sorry for a delay, iPad Air 2 with iOS 15.x simply does not show dashboards with 2024.5 ))))
That is why I am a bit stuck here )))

Too bad, sorry to hear that. Thanks for replying

Managed to get iPad to work, hold on...

iPad Air 2, iOS 15.x:

type: entities
entities:
  - input_boolean.test_boolean
  - type: custom:template-entity-row
    entity: sun.sun
    hold_action: >-
      {% set ip = 'google.com' -%}
      {%- if is_state('input_boolean.test_boolean','on') -%}
        { "action": "url", "url_path": "http://{{ip}}" }
      {%- else -%}
        { "action": "more-info" }
      {%- endif %}

If condition is TRUE or FALSE - hold_action does nothing.
So, the issue is confirmed.
