Solved: issue with field_filter extending an imported dash... - Page 2

I am extending a dashboard from a remote imported project. I have the base dashboard and extended dashboard with the views from the imported project in a new model. I have done no other modifications to the base dashboard; I am testing extends before actually extending something in the dashboard. I get an error when I validate the lookml:

field_filter is using a field outside of the current model ({new model here}). The field "agg_paid_analytics.calendar_type_selector" may not be reachable.

This dashboard has no issues with the model from the imported project.

Does anyone know how to fix this?

Ok, I figured that out.

Basically, to fix broken imported dashboard you need to make sure that inside model-file you include all views and explores before the dashboards.

In my case, here is a part of my model file:

include: "//views/**/*.view.lkml"
include: "//explores/**/*.explore.lkml"
include: "//dashboards/**/*.dashboard.lookml"

Hope it’ll help.
