> old UI allows to overlay existing inherited parameter with another value, new UI shows error message "A parameter with this name already exists."
> how to reproduce:
> 1) create new parameter context f.e. "BASE"
> 2) in "BASE" create variable "FOO" with value "BAR"
> 3) create new parameter context f.e. "OVERLAY"
> 4) add parameter context "BASE" to context "OVERLAY" on Inheritance tab
> 5) in context "OVERLAY" attempt to create parameter "FOO"
> 6-old) parameter is created sucessfully and its value takes precedence based over inherited parameters
> 6-2.0.0-M3) an error "A parameter with this name already exists." is shown
> workaround: break inheritance, add parameter, recreate inheritance
> related wishlist / improvements:
> 1) another action next to "Go To" for inherited values with name "Override" that will open window "Add Parameter" with name and sensitivity already prefilled
> 2) show icon / any other means to inform user that this value is also present in some inherited context
