Make it easier to find the API-required ID for a particular entity, such as a space, team, project, list, assignee, etc.

Guessing the (for example) list ID portion of the URL or looking it up on a non-authoritative YT site - none of this is productive. For lists, put it on the list info window (or something common sensical).

Hey, Mark! Thanks for your feedback on our API and how we can improve locating the necessary IDs.
For gathering IDs needed for the API, I usually recommend also using the API for this! We have a section in our API help documentation that walks through how you can find each ID in the ClickUp Hierarchy you need. Here's the doc if you want to take a look!

Luci N.: Thats a new page to me, thank you. I already use the API because some can only be found that way, but it resembles work to go find my script (or the page linked above), modify it for the specific need, run it (sometimes more than once), all to get an ID my code is waiting on (whose object is typically staring at me in ClickUp). Some objects offer their ID in CU, but some (like list) do not.
