Feedreader huge and identical attributes content and description

[Mariusthvdb]

The problem

same for content and description

having 5 feeds configured, this makes for the largest set of attributes in the system.
can hardly be per design to have the full blog code as attribute of those feeds, let alone 2 if them being identical

It is by design, so the last event is always available. To ensure it will not overwhelm the history database, these attributes are excluded from recording - see:

core/homeassistant/components/feedreader/event.py

Lines 45 to 47 in 2003fc7

	_unrecorded_attributes = frozenset(
	{ATTR_CONTENT, ATTR_DESCRIPTION, ATTR_TITLE, ATTR_LINK}
	)

[Mariusthvdb]

guess my point is, why are those 2 attributes identical,and, should it be per design, to have a complete blog text (including html tags) be part of the event attributes

of course one could also argue that the Feedreader integration displays the source as reliable as possible without moderation, and that creators of the Home Assistant rss feeds should provide beter RSS content (none of the other feeds I use post their html pages in the description or content attribute)?

[mib1185]

Which feed url are you referring to?

[Mariusthvdb]

suppose it is the main https://www.home-assistant.io/atom.xml feed

(edited an earlier edit which was off topic for this issue)

I am not understanding the issue raised, what problem does this cause?

[Mariusthvdb]

well a least it causes 2 identical attributes on a single entity with more than 50000 characters. As in: the full html code of an article

not yet talking about the effect this has on scrolling the dev tools states
