        :   int in [-inf, inf], default 0, (readonly)

    identifier
    :   Used when connecting an Action to a data-block, to find the correct slot handle. This is the display name, prefixed by two characters determined by the slot’s ID type

        Type:
        :   string, default “”, (never None)

    name_display
    :   Name of the slot, for display in the user interface. This name combined with the slot’s data-block type is unique within its Action
