'How to use "Go to action" in the MS Bot Composer?
Trying to manage a conversation flow by "Go to action" action (sorry for tautology). All tests to call all types of actions by ID from *.dialog return error.
ClassName:"System.ArgumentException"
Message:"GotoAction: could not find an action of "cW0raQ"."
I didn't find any mention in the documentation how to work with this action, therefore it must be pretty simple, but I can't catch the correct way.

As usually, answer myself.
Had a look at MS tests in their repo https://github.com/microsoft/botbuilder-dotnet/ and found out that it requires creating ID for action manually. Automatic $designer.id doesn't work.
{
"$kind": "Microsoft.GotoAction",
"$designer": {
"id": "uFOn5P"
},
"actionId": "targetID"
},
...
{
"id": "targetID",
"$kind": "Microsoft.SendActivity",
"$designer": {
"id": "oWxpDh",
"comment": "",
"name": "GoTo test"
},
"activity": "${SendActivity_oWxpDh()}"
}
Moreover, this action works in scope of trigger only, not dialog.
