cloudant action annotations for dbname erroneously omit bindTime: true
@starpit commented on Wed Jun 08 2016
we would like a way to distinguish dbname as a special parameter, one that we suggest the user provide at package binding time, rather than invocation time.
for example, the read-document action throws an exception if dbname is not provided, and it is unlikely that in normal scenarios dbname will be provided as input from a prior action in a sequence, or by a trigger as part of a rule.
whereas the docID field is much more likely to be in-flow data. therefore, dbname should be prompted for at package binding time
Solution: every cloudant action that specifies dbname as required should also specify it as bindTime: true

All of the cloudant actions that specify dbName as required must also specify bindTime: true
