8. **Reversion to "Toggle" as default action for automation entities on buttons.**
In this update, we have reverted the default action for button presses on automation. entities back to "Toggle." This change reverses the adjustment made in version 4.1, where "Trigger" was set as the default action.
**Impact:**
- **Default Behavior:** With this reversion, pressing a button linked to an automation entity will now enable or disable the automation, as it did prior to version 4.1.
- **Consistency and Familiarity:** This change aims to align with user expectations and maintain consistency in the user experience.
- **Customization Still Available:** Users still have the option to manually set "Trigger" as the action for their automation. entities, as per their preference.
We understand that changes in default settings can impact your workflows. We appreciate your understanding as we strive to balance new features with the familiarity and stability of the user experience.
