Describe the issue Thanks for adding the Category functions. However, there is no easy way to get the ID of the category, which is required for most of the related functions. I believe there is an issue with the GetAllCategories() return values. It returns the name of the category for both Key and Value. I was expecting the ID for Key, and Name for Value.

Steps to Reproduce Dim test = hs.GetAllCategories().First result: {[Appliances, Appliances]}

Expected behavior I was expecting the ID for Key, and Name for Value.

Also, a new function "GetCategoryByName(Name as String) as String" returning the GUID would be a useful additional.

Also, shouldn't "CreateCategory("name", "image")" return the GUID? Currently it returns an empty string.

Yes, I have put in a fix for build 4.1

Works in 4.1.0.0, so I guess we can close this. Thanks!
