Within the map configuration settings, would it be possible to offer options to:

  • Swap out the web map for a new one?
  • Map the previous layers referenced in the dashboard to new ones (assuming similar schemas)?

My challenge is that I have a dashboard comprising a map, 5 charts, 2 indicators, date and category selectors.  There are a wealth of complex actions set up.  I wish to create version 2 in parallel so I don't damage version 1.  This is presently  difficult because if I save out a copy of the dashboard then remove the web map, all items referencing it are deleted.

A further challenge is that my layers have complex symbology and were published to ArcGIS Online using ArcGIS Pro to retain this.  Should the data change in future, like further categories be added, I will need to republish from Pro.  To integrate the new data into my dashboard would seem to then require a rebuild of the web map also the dashboard.

Open to suggestions if I am missing something!

Would be nice but 'idea' since 2018 and 'under consideration' since almost five years now ...

 

I endorse this idea!

Yes please. The new map just has different sources for the exact same layers. I just want to swap without resetting everything.

This is needed for test and development.  ENH Summary:  Level of effort to implement: easy.  (Support repointing the webmap, it's possible in JSON in AGOL Assistant it's just a few places where it's referenced, but we need a supported method)   Impact:  everyone. Anyone who uses Dashboards will want/need this at some point.

But yeeees, why hasn't it been implemented yet ?!

I've exactly the same need than Kevin.

Have also been watching this for a while - if I could add another "kudos", I would. Here's hoping that additional comments count for something!
