Content ID - Obtaining and change request

Could we get these displayed in the UI now?

If you are using something like GetPagedOfType you need the documentType ID. You used to be able to get this from the URL in the backoffice.

With the Backoffice changes the URL’s are GUID you now have to do some output and be in debug and break the object open, go into contentType and then get the ID. That is a bit of a long winded process.

Is this the only way now?

Suggestion:
Rather than just displaying I think the following would be nice…

What I think would be nice actually is a JSON viewer for each Document Type that JSON tree view preview of the Document/Element type and have known values like Content ID being visible so you can get them.

Further to that if you selected actual content from the content tree that is of that type it would populate with the actual data. It would really help in building and getting info during development that was a bit of a quicker process.
