[MainUI] Missing quick way to copy the thing UID

[lolodomo]

The thing UID is something you can need when you want to move to a config file or even use it in a console command. This can be a long string and you don't want to type it but rather retrieve it from UI !
Until now, there is no way to copy it from the UI.
At the reverse, we have a way to copy the channel UID if you go in the channel detail/configuration page.

The icon that Paper UI proposed to achieve that on a channel was a very good idea IMHO.

You can get the Thing UID from the Code tab quite easily:

As for Channel UIDs, it is a duplicate of #396.

Ok, that is true. I never open that tab :)
But an icon like in Paper UI would be terribly more user friendly.
But at least, there is a way to do it, I just did not find it ;)

[lolodomo]

And I see we have in this tab the thingTypeUID which can be very useful too.

I hesitate to close the issue ;)

[ghys]

You can do a lot from that tab :)


Mostly it's a way to duplicate configs to other similar things but you do get a lot of information and help.

Only available for editable things.

I keep the issue opened for a potential icon outside the code tab but it should have a very low priority.

I agree with @lolodomo here, an additional "copy id" icon like it existed in Paper UI would be quite nice to have, expecially in the early OH3 migration phase where I need to look up the ID all the time :-)
