Script (Conditions) have different format than the conditional card

Feedback

In the conditional card, the example for determining if a condition is valid is the following for an entity: https://www.home-assistant.io/dashboards/conditional/#examples

type: conditional
conditions:
  - condition: state
    entity: light.bed_light
    state: "on"
  - condition: state
    entity: light.bed_light
    state_not: "off"

Note, it's entity

However, for all other automations (triggers, conditions, etc...), as documented here

https://www.home-assistant.io/docs/scripts/conditions/#state-condition

conditions:
  - condition: state
    entity_id:
      - light.kitchen
      - light.living_room
    state: "on"

Note, it's using entity_id for the state condition, not entity.

Additional information

It would be nice to have consistent syntax.

Yes? That is correct...

I'm not fully understanding the comment, could you clarify what your suggestion is?

It would be nice to have consistent syntax, (ie; when doing state on an entity, using 'entity_id' always, not using entity in one case, and entity_id in all other cases).

Agree, but that isn't the case. The documentation is thus correct.
