Make it possible to see View filter settings without going through Update View

Hosted views allow creation of views from hosted feature layers, with the view set using the Update View button. This takes you through a few steps to set filters, fields and so on. When managing lots of different views, it is easy to forget exactly what filters are set on each view. It would be useful to have this information available at a quick glance, rather than having to click Update View and go through the steps to see what is set there. Even if this was presented as an sql clause or similar in the Settings tab (e.g. as an expandable section under the Update View button) this would save a reasonable amount of time and unnecessary clicks.

I would also propose that this is only visible to users with permission to edit the view, rather than just anyone the view is shared with.

You can see the SQL if you access the information through the REST API, but it would be so nice to have that information out in front on the Settings tab. Great idea!

@DataOfficer

I agree, this would be useful. This information would only show for the item owners and admins. As each layer in the service can have their own query and field visibility, we would need to display this per layer. I'll see what we can do...
