`updateAll()` return value - ?

[mehov]

Hey everyone

https://api.cakephp.org/5.0/class-Cake.ORM.Table.html#updateAll()
https://api.cakephp.org/4.0/class-Cake.ORM.Table.html#updateAll()
https://api.cakephp.org/3.0/class-Cake.ORM.Table.html#updateAll()

Returns
int

What int?

I like looking things up on api.cakephp.org specifically because I can click directly into the source code and get my answers there:

https://github.com/cakephp/cakephp/blob/8f56e5295ba2bda1239b3c296d758599f8d02020/src/ORM/Table.php#L1820

But I can see how someone new may not think of that or may not know it's possible even.

In my understanding, unlike book.cakephp.org, the api.cakephp.org documents are being generated directly from the source code comments. And updateAll()'s phpDoc does indeed have description of the return value:

• @return int Count Returns the affected rows.

So why is it not being picked up?

Other return types are also missing their description text.
