api token page - unable to see generated token key after creation (if no key supplied)

[ITJamie]

NetBox version

v3.6-beta1

Python version

3.10

Steps to Reproduce

goto admin > api tokens > add api token
select a user,
do not fill in the key field (key will be autogenerated)
after creation there is no way to see/copy the generated key

Expected Behavior

the generated key should be visible after creation
also maybe admins should be able to view full keys?

Observed Behavior

unable to copy / see the generated API key

@jsenecal suggested reworking the forms a bit so that the token value is generated when the form is rendered, providing the user an opportunity to record it prior to creating the token in the database. I really like this approach because it obviates the need to introduce any complex logic in the views, which now utilize the generic ObjectEditView.

so the field would be prefilled and new validation to require a value to be supplied (and potentially make sure it has a minimum amount of characters and isn't something silly like "password")?

[jeremystretch]

It means the form field will be pre-populated with a randomly-generated key. No changes to validation are needed, other than the field now being marked as required.
