Condition state takes template literally

[LarsWigger]

The problem

Hello,
I am trying to unify some automations using a script. The script is meant to check whether the value stored in an input field matches the field/parameter passed to it by the automation. Here is the code:

- condition: state
            entity_id: input_text.schalterszene
            state: "{{ scene }}"

To my surprise, "{{ scene }}" is not substituted with the value of the field, but taken as a literal value. I can validate this by manually setting the value of the field to "{{ scene }}" and seeing that this causes the condition to evaluate to true.
scene is defined in the script, in successfully uses it at another location.
This seems like a bug to me. If it is not, I did not see this mentioned in the documentation.
