Attribute ID column is suddenly gone in Assets

Hiya - 

By going to the Attributes pane of any object type, I used to be able to see Attribute IDs for each Attribute. Now, the ID column is gone and there's no button to bring it back.

I feel like the product team made a change here that now makes using the API especially difficult. I don't want to query Attribute details via the API... the object format is particularly cumbersome. Why not just show it in the UI?

There is indeed a change rolling out that will hide the id from the attributes screen. This is being done in order to increase Assets performance overall.

However, it is still possible to fetch the ids using API, with the following endpoint:

Was this successful for anyone? I get data using that API call but I don't see "attributeId".

I get the following response but when I use the id, I get the following error...

RESPONSE

"name": "SerialNumber",

"label": false,

"defaultType": {

       "id":300,

       "name": "Text"

}

 

ERROR

"errorMessages": [],
"errors": {
"rlabs-insight-attribute-292": "At least one value must be set"

 

@Atlassian Support- If you're going to move detailed info behind APIs, please make sure the documentation is current and clear to avoid frustration. TY : AttributeID_Question.png

@Andrew Boeger -

I would recommend that for you to contact Atlassian Support (https://support.atlassian.com) on your issue.  On our end, we have always use the "Key" field in our process and not the attribute ID field.

Sorry.
