Hi,

While testing action command it is showing the output leaf name.

```
[local]#application showpid
**returnValue** ASWD-22-1 pid:15330
ASWD-22-2 pid:15864

[local]#

tailfext:action showpid {
                        description "Displays PID's for all processes of application.";
                        tailfext:actionpoint "app-action";
                        output {
                                leaf returnValue {
                                        type string;
                                        mandatory true;
                                        description "Result for show pid is displayed.";
                                }

                        }

                }

```

Can you suggest how remove the **returnValue** from the action command when the output is displayed.
