Prompt user to confirm toggle of Entity<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When switching items like PC’s make sure they meant it and include what is going to happen. So you need to prompt based on the sale of the entity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You need to use a custom:button-card<\/a> as the standard card confirmation does not include templating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The formatting for this is in javascript\/jquery an example is shown below note the odd back tick quotes for the strings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
