    Hi blindeye,

     

    I just verified that the issue should be fixed now. However, to apply the fix for the user who has this issue originally(shared before the fix), we may need to firstly stop sharing the dashboard with him, then reshare the dashboard with him. :smileyhappy:

Hi blindeye,

The live connected report has a package different from model's package. This is by design. The report object not returned as part of AppMetaDAta and GetDashboard API for a shared dashboard is a bug.

 

We are working on a fix for this issue. I will let you know the commit data once the fix is checked in.


I just verified that the Product Team have already find the cause of this issue, and they are working on a fix for this issue. I will post back once the fix is checked in. Smiley Happy

      Should this now be working with the release of the new August update? Because it isn't - the first user I tested it with is still getting the "there is an error with one or more tiles" message at the top of one dashboard shared with him, although another (with only one tile, linking to a report on his personal activity) is working correctly...

    Same issue for me. Hopefully this is fixed soon, since it is key to enable proper self-service BI
