Additional Information

Currently, some components of cloned dashboards, such as selectors and mobile views, are not automatically reconfigured to use the appropriate cloned supporting content. To reconfigure a cloned dashboard to use the cloned content, define a dictionary where the original source item ID is the key and the target item ID is the value. The original source supporting item used in the dashboard must be publicly shared (as of this release). This dictionary can be used as the item_mapping argument to the remap_data method on the cloned dashboard item, which configures the cloned dashboard to use the cloned supporting content. This issue will be addressed for selector components.

Workaround

Use the remap_data method on the cloned dashboard item to remap the source web map ID to the target's cloned web map ID.
