GetMapServiceInfo outputting parameter Layer Id as string

Hi to all

I was wondering if anyone had any idea as to why the new GetMapServiceInfo Activity in the Workflow Designer 3.7 would be outputting the  parameter, 'Layer Id' as a string? When accessing a REST endpoint isn't it always a zero based numeric count?

First silly question for a Monday

Thanks

Ralph

PS I guess the same question applies to the input parameter, 'Map Service Id', which as I read the help would be a 0 based index of the map services in the site.xml

  An ArcGIS Server Layer ID will always be a number, but this is not necessarily the case for all map service types. By going with strings it keeps our options open.

  REST Manager will often created IDs that are numeric, but in most cases the ID is actually stored as a string value and can be configured to whatever you like.

  Hi Ryan

  I had assumed that was the case so as to maintain flexibility

  Thanks
