Widgets in dashboards captured in update sets do not display properly after a commit - Known Error

Widgets in dashboards captured in update sets do not display properly after a commit Description Committing an update set that has changes to widgets on a dashboard causes the widgets not to be displayed after the commit.

Steps to Reproduce

Create a local update set and make it your current update set.

For more information, see the product documentation topic Create and select an update set as the current set .

Navigate to Performance Analytics > Dashboards .

Click the context menu icon and choose New Dashboard to create a dashboard.

Click "+" sign at the top right corner of the dashboard and add any widget to the dashboard.

Click Done .

Navigate to Homepage Admin > Pages .

Find the page record (sort by Updated ).

Right-click the record and unload the page.

Navigate to System Update Sets > Update Sources > Local Update Sets .

Check the update set for which you captured the widget/dashboard creation and ensure that the changes made were captured.

Complete the update set and then choose Export to XML .

Commit the update set on another instance.

Navigate to Performance Analytics > Dashboards and select your dashboard.

Note that none of the widgets appear in the dashboard display.

Workaround To display the dashboard:

Navigate to Homepage Admin > Pages on the target instance to find the homepage record.

Click View Homepage .

Navigate to Performance Analytics > Dashboards and view the dashboard.

The dashboard now displays the widgets.
