Notify: Deprecated (?) and incomplete "Send a persistent notification" action

[NoRi2909]

The problem

When you select the "Notifications: Send a persistent notification action" in the UI you get this dialog:

defined here:

https://github.com/home-assistant/core/blob/51d694884830cf16d98a749fba8066ee7bed0435/homeassistant/components/notify/strings.json#L45-L61

This somehow is an incomplete copy of the correct dialog for the "Persistent Notification: Create"

that is defined and announced by the Persistent Notification integration:

https://github.com/home-assistant/core/blob/51d694884830cf16d98a749fba8066ee7bed0435/homeassistant/components/persistent_notification/strings.json#L3-L21

Unless there is anything I've overlooked the first one should be deprecated.

Otherwise at least that "data" field should be replaced with the proper name and description from the other definition.

This is still an issue.

These are two different service actions that use the same target function in the end. We haven't decided to deprecate the notify persistent action as far as I'm aware.

We can clarify the data parameter in the service description and translation. It should hold an object with the notification id of the persistent notification.

Thanks for addressing the issue. I just stumbled over this while translating and wondered why have these duplicates.
