Research direction

Start with src/common/schemas/Cell.yml and the PUT /dashboards/{dashboardID}/cells endpoint, then compare the Cell viewID property with the ../cells/${cellID}/views API context. Confirm whether viewID is consumed or ignored, and document or implement the schema change needed so the specification matches the API behavior.

Description

In the common schema Cell is a property viewID. I've tried to set erroneous values to this property and send it as part of a requestBody, however it seems to be ignored by the server. Does it still serve a purpose? Or since views are now handled by the ../cells/${cellID}/views context, can it be removed?
