Resolve conflict errors for a data view, visualization, and Canvas workpad by overwriting the existing saved objects. NOTE: If a prior copy attempt resulted in resolvable errors, you must include a retry for each object you want to copy, including any that were returned in the successResults array. In this example, we retried copying the dashboard accordingly.

Response

The response for successfully copying a dashboard with the my-dashboard ID, including all references from the default space to the marketing space. The result indicates a successful copy and all three objects are created. Since these objects were created as new copies, each entry in the successResults array includes a destinationId attribute.

Resolve missing reference errors for a visualization by ignoring the error. NOTE: If a prior copy attempt resulted in resolvable errors, you must include a retry for each object you want to copy, including any that were returned in the successResults array. In this example, we retried copying the dashboard and canvas accordingly.
