Restore ability to view Widget ID

We seem to have lost the ability to view the ID of a dashboard widget.  Previously I was able to see this somewhere in the widget configuration view.  Please restore the widget ID back into the widget configuration view. We use this to find the ID of a widget to use with the REST APIs.

    HI Mosh,

    Sorry about that! When we updated the widget sharing to use token authentication, it changed how that ID is presented. You can still get that widget ID by generating a Widget Embedded URL, and the widget ID will be at the end of the link you copy. Obviously, not ideal, since you have to create a token just to see the widget ID, but it's a workaround to get that ID in the meantime. 

    For your use case, would it be most helpful to have Widget ID displayed as an independent field in the configuration?
