Possibility to ignore output variable validation for certain actions

[thake]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I'm using the dotenv-action, which makes properties available as step outputs. Because the plugin's meta-data can't have information on the used properties, this plugin cannot correctly validate the actions output.

Describe the solution you'd like I want to be able to disable output variable validation for specific actions so that I don't get any false positives.

Describe alternatives you've considered None so far

Greetings @thake, Thank you for the request. I had not yet thought of this case. A little brainstorming together: 1) A similar function is already built in for unrecognised actions. See screenshot. Would this option be sufficient if I always display this option? 2) Would you suggest ignoring single output elements, or just disable the validation of all output elements? 3) Visualisation: should the output variables get a weak warning to show that they are not validated, or would that interfere?

Hey @YunaBraska, thanks for your quick response! Here are my comments:

1. That would be sufficient and consistent. I like it :)
2. Leave it to the user. So offer both options. Either ignore a single output variable or all output variables of a specific action.
3. A weak warning with a tooltip seems very sensible. This is also a good place to offer a function to undo ignoring the variable.

Back from vacation.... I added now the ability to disable checks for inputs and outputs. The weak warning is not implemented, cause it looks pretty ugly on many outputs. What do you think? Does it solve your issue?
