Null DatasetID when cloning a report through api

When I'm cloning a report on a specific workspace using the api, the datasetID is returning null. Why this is happening?

The problem occurs only with workspace in version 2, the clone api call is returning the datasetid as empty.

Were you able to solve this?

After clone I do another call to get the report if this comes null.
