PING sensors are not given an ID when created

I think this all started when we updated PRTG version, right now we use PRTG 16.2.24.3792+, is this a bug or a feature?

And it is fixed with the last version of PRTG?

Dear Rustic

Every sensor should have an ID, because they are internally referenced by that ID. In which sense are your sensor not getting an ID? Or are you talking in fact about a number in the sensor name?

Thanks, I'm talking about a number in the ping sensor. All the old ping sensors have an ID number assigned, and now when I create a new ping sensor it just says "ping" with no number, So when I wan't to set up dependencies I can no longer choose by number ID. I have now to manually assign them pings.
