Return codes and description for Actions

All actions should have the possibility to have an optional return code/description to provide information about the execution. This could then be sent to a variable/named range/range to be processed in a subsequent action. This effectively allows for branching logic for multiple actions and also to provide some specific feedback to the user, e.g. displayed in a range.

The return codes/description may have to be specific for actions (eg the return codes for Integrator may be the load/job return code), but there should be an exhaustive list of these that can be referenced.

Example of return codes

Button Action 1: Add element.

Button Action 2: Run Integrator Load

If the return code for Add element Action 1 is False/Error/0, then the Button Action 2 could not be executed (the button may be hidden or an alternative Load may be run).

Return codes would be very useful right now, but become especially powerful in a multi-action execution scenario (ie Multiple Actions).

Some actions might not have return codes (logout for example? - would have to research this, as maybe it is possible?), so there might be a subset of Actions that could return a return code.
