How do I find the ContractId of the currently executing contract?

Questions
1

I return the contractId of the new contract from a consuming choice. This contract ID is returned from create this ....

For uniformity, sometimes I would like to return the contract ID also from a nonconsuming choice.

How do I obtain the contract ID of the contract whose choice is currently executing?

Thanks a lot,
mesch.

There is self which gives you access to the contract id of the current contract similar to how this gives you access to the contract payload.

@cocreature where is the use of ‘this’ and ‘self’ documented?

They’re mentioned in the template reference, but I suppose that could be expanded quite a bit.
