No, with custom badges comes a new editor. We should take the badges out of the view editor and give it it's own edit dialog per badge just like cards.

Ok, It´s not so clear to me, what the next steps for this PR are. It reads, that it does not make a lot of sense to merge this changes in because it will be obsolete once the new editor is in place, correct?

I could revert the preview mode in entity editor but keep the refactoring for the badge-group and the disabled attribute. Does this help or should we just get rid of this PR in general?

[bramkragten]

I think we should wait for the custom badges PR to merge, we can then refactor this PR so it uses the new logic to build the badges. Would be a relative simple change I think.

[iantrich]

I'll try to get the custom badges PR cleaned up in the next couple of days

[bramkragten]

Custom badges where merged, mainly this logic is changed:

Maybe @iantrich can help you get this PR updated?

[tomraithel]

Hey. I've updated my branch to the recent changes without any conflicts. So the badge preview still works.
What I don't understand is how I can configure a custom badge? Is that possible via the UI or only via yaml configuration?

[bramkragten]

Only yaml right now, next step is to create a editor for badges.

[tomraithel]

Is there than anything more to do for this PR? The preview seems to work correctly with the new badge build logic.

[bramkragten]

Yes, we need to add the new create badge logic. We only create state-badges now in the preview, but there could be other types of badges in it that we also need to render correctly.

Closing this as it has gone stale. If you would like to continue on this please open a new PR.
