Export/import user-defined dashboards

[Rub_moy]

Hi everyone,
The project i was working in got deprioritized. That work includes a explore in a development branch and dashboards. Since it's not deployed in production, the objects in my dashboard appear as errors while checking content validator.
What I want to achieve is to download those user-defined dashboards so the errors in content validator don't appear and, in the future, upload them again in my folder.
I've tried to create my dashboard as LookML Dashboard but I haven't been able to make it work.
Is there any way to simply export/import user-defined dashboards?

Thanks!

There seem to be a couple of issues here, but I think the easiest thing to do to preserve your content would be to convert the dashboards in question to LookML dashboards, as you mention. I am curious as to why this is not working for you - can you say more about this?

Hi @GavinW , thanks for your answer.

I tried two things:
- I got the lookml of my dashboard via API (Get lookml of a UDD) and i tried to use Import Dashboard from LookML and Create Dashboard from LookML but didn't work
-I tried to create a LookML dashboards so as to export it as user-defined dashboards . I got the lookml of my dashboard via API (Get lookml of a UDD) and I created and object .dashboard in my project and I added it to an explore. The dashboard appeared in the LookML dashboards folder but an error appeared when I tired to open it. I think the reason why that happened was because I was working in development mode and I didn't push those changes to production.

Are you trying to do this programmattically via the API because you have a large number of dashboards? My thinking is that, if the number of dashboards isn't too big, you could just get the LookML for each from the front end (i.e. 'Get LookML' from the dashboard cogwheel menu) and just paste the code somewhere for storage.
