When following the tutorial, there is this piece of code for the operations. What is the difference between an action and a description. I was not able to see any usage for the action property when compiling the module.

	options: [
		{
			name: 'Create',
			value: 'create',
			description: 'Create a contact',
			action: 'Create a contact',
		},
	],

Hi @azngeek, I don’t think we have a very detailed description for this yet, but you can find a brief description of each property at Base files - n8n Documentation
