Getting type mismatches on recent versions

[scstraus]

Hi, I think the move to allow more types in hass is causing some problems with the variables component. This automation used to work, but no longer does on .118.4. I'm getting this in the logs:

This is the automation in question:

- id: dpd_state_change
  alias: 'DPD state change'
  initial_state: 'true'
  trigger:
    platform: state
    entity_id: sensor.dpd_packages_coming_today
  condition:
    condition: state
    entity_id: 'sensor.dpd_packages_coming_today'
    state: 'Delivery'
  action:
    service: variable.set_variable
    data:
      variable: dpd_variable
      attributes_template: >
        {
          "from": "{{ state_attr('sensor.dpd_packages_coming_today', 'from') }}",
          "date": "{{ state_attr('sensor.dpd_packages_coming_today', 'date') }}",
          "subject": "{{ state_attr('sensor.dpd_packages_coming_today', 'subject') }}"
        } 
      value_template: "{{ states('sensor.dpd_packages_coming_today')}}"

Thanks Marius. Sorry I missed that one. Will try suggestions from there and probably close.
