Description

Hi all,
in the condition table it should be clarified what happens if a parameter ID is provided for a parameter ID value:
https://petab.readthedocs.io/en/latest/documentation_data_format.html#condition-table

${parameterId}
The values will override any parameter values specified in the model.

Should read:

${parameterId}
The values will override any parameter values specified in the model.
If a parameter ID is provided, it is interpreted as the initial parameter value.

Research direction

Open the condition table section of the linked PEtab documentation page and locate the ${parameterId} description. Clarify that when a parameter ID is provided, it is interpreted as the initial parameter value; the documentation is done when this behavior is stated unambiguously.
