Dashboard 2.0 Template

Can the dashboard template be global for all dashboard? I use the same tile in multiple dashboards so it's a pain to have to edit the template individually for each dashboard. Or am I doing it wrong?

You can copy and paste settings, etc in the advanced section and lift the json sections you want to share between dashboards

In advanced look for the "customColors": [] section.
That's what you want to copy and paste.

I created a dashboard called base template. It has a header display of current time. Then it contains a left sidebar so to speak of dashboard links. Whenever I create a new dashboard I copy over the code from this template to the new dashboard. Seems to work pretty well.

So it seems I can't change the mode tile background color.

I have a few Modes but I can't change the background color for them. It seems to be only for Away.

Here is Evening Mode:

Template info

{
  "template": "mode",
  "bgColor": "rgba(51,51,255,1)",
  "iconColor": "rgba(255,255,255,1)",
  "state": "Evening",
  "customIcon": ""
}

But the tile is showing this color instead

I tried editing the template but it doesn't update either.

Patrick is aware of this and it will be addressed in a future update

I primarily use my iPhone to control things so I've designed a screen for it as shown. After the new OS update, I'm really struggling to get a new screen set up relatively the same way for outdoor controls, garage door, external outlets. I did a lot of it just editing the JSON but no matter what I do I can seem to get my "outdoor" dashboard set up the way I want it.
Is there a workflow to this. Create new Dashboard, edit all the special templates I want, then add the devices? I can't seem to get the devices to use the templates I created.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Dave
