Old CallMethods and CallSubMethods will have a new node called Classic set to True so it works as before.

The first CallMethod is the classic call and here is how all existing CallMethod, CallMethodAdvanced, CallSubMethod, and CallSubMethodAdvanced services will look. This will always return all services with "Expose Service Output" set to true as output inside the CallMethod service.

The second CallMethod only targets user specified services that have "Expose Service Output" set to true. This will return only services specific in the Outputs structure and add them on the the existing output.
