Using !Include to templates in .yaml about decluttering-card HOT 3 OPEN

As an example:

configuration.yaml:

homeassistant:
  ...
  allowlist_external_dirs:
    ...
    - /config/lovelace
...
lovelace: !include lovelace/lovelace.yaml

lovelace/lovelace.yaml:

mode: storage
dashboards:
  ...
  system:
    mode: yaml
    title: System
    icon: mdi:home-assistant
    show_in_sidebar: true
    require_admin: false
    filename: lovelace/lovelace-system.yaml

lovelace/lovelace-system.yaml:

decluttering_templates: !include_dir_merge_named templates-decluttering/
views:
  - !include views/system/general.yaml
  ...

Folder lovelace/templates-decluttering contains files (may be grouped in folders) for decluttering templates - either "1 file = 1 template" or "1 file = several related templates":

..
template_1.yaml
template_2.yaml

lovelace/templates-decluttering/template_1.yaml:

template_1:
  default:
    ...
  card:
    ...

So, each dashboard file (like "lovelace-system.yaml") should include that decluttering_templates: !include_dir_merge_named templates-decluttering/ string to have your templates available.

I'm getting some issues following your steps.
Copy everything and creating the folder + lovelace.yaml. On lovelace-system.yaml I did just for test a fast view instead of import.

decluttering_templates: !include_dir_merge_named templates-decluttering/
views:
  - title: Test
    cards:
      - type: picture
        image: https://demo.home-assistant.io/stub_config/t-shirt-promo.png
        tap_action:
          action: none
        hold_action:
          action: none

Deleting thse"..." from your example code. I try to validate the config and i get this issue:

"Invalid config for [lovelace]: Url path needs to contain a hyphen (-) for dictionary value @ data['lovelace']['dashboards']. Got OrderedDict([('system', OrderedDict([('mode', 'yaml'), ('title', 'System'), ('icon', 'mdi:home-assistant'), ('show_in_sidebar', True), ('require_admin', False), ('filename', 'lovelace/lovelace-system.yaml')]))]). (See /config/configuration.yaml, line 67)."

Maybe a mistake on the !import

lovelace: !include lovelace/lovelace.yaml

to

lovelace: !include /lovelace/lovelace.yaml

But anyways i had error:

Error loading /config/configuration.yaml: in "/config/configuration.yaml", line 68, column 11: Unable to read file /lovelace/lovelace.yaml.

Thanks for your help!

Check again steps in my post and compare with your setup.
If you still experience errors - then post your "lovelace.yaml", "lovelace-system.yaml" & "configuration.yaml" files.

BTW, your issue is neither a bug nor a feature request.
It is just a question.
I strongly suggest you to ask similar questions in a dedicated decluttering-card Community thread.
These questions should be posted there instead if being lost on Github.
