Outputs - return node_id

[okrupa]

Hi,
I try to use output from your action. It should return comment ID, but I get node_id. Is this correct? If so the repo description is misleading.

I don't remember well, but I think I mainly implemented it that way using the graphql API.
Because of backward compatibility, it seems difficult to change the current ID to a node ID, but it seems possible to return the ID as a new database ID.
However, most functions can be implemented with node ID, so if possible, please first check whether the rest API you want to use does not exist in graphql.
