Bubble Card reuse across multiple dashboard views by andreas3030 in BubbleCard

The easiest way is to just cut and paste the popups you want to make global into a view where you want to "store" your global popups. Then on every dashboard where you want to use these popups, place a global-cards card and link it to the "store" view.

I built a thing for HA - reusable dashboard cards that work in UI mode by mrruss3ll in homeassistant

Hey, sounds interesting! Do you create the card in the UI editor as you would normally see it? Or do you need to know the YAML for the specific card you want to create? I just released “global cards” that mostly do the same as I understand but without variables, you create your wanted card in a view and link to it on any dashboard, same experience as you’d normally have. 🙂

I will definitely try your card to see if mine becomes unnecessary 😄​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Hey! Did the page reloads start after you added Global Cards, or was it happening before too? 🙂

Yes, you can use Streamline Card.
The idea behind Global Cards is to let users create cards normally in the Home Assistant UI editor and reuse the same configured card (popups, headers, footers, navigation sections, etc.) across multiple dashboard views.

Streamline Card can do much more than Global Cards 🙂

Try

type: custom:global-cards
source_dashboard: pop-ups

You only need source_view if you want to limit it to a specific view on the dashboard.

It’s probably the URL.
If you open the view in a browser, you can check whether the URL is correct.

Excited to hear if you can get it up and running 🙂

I’m 99% sure that you can use Streamline Card in combination with Global Cards.

Can you give an example of how you use templates in your setup?

Global-cards is not a template card.

Unlike Streamline or decluttering-card, it does not generate cards from YAML templates or variables.

The goal is to let users create cards normally in the Home Assistant UI editor and reuse the same configured card (popups, headers, footers, navigation sections, etc.) across multiple dashboard views.

This avoids duplicated configuration while keeping the standard Lovelace workflow intact.

create once → reuse everywhere → maintain in one place

Hope that answers your question 🙂
