Workspace Dashboard functionality inconsistent

When I save a workspace, all changes I make in 3D and Process Flow are retained when I open another workspace - or reopen the current workspace. This is not the case with Dashboard. The workspace apparently saves not only the dashboards, but also the content. So when I make changes to the content of a dashboard, these changes will disappear when I reopen the workspace. That also goes for delete graph which will reappear.


The workaround is it save the workspace each time you have made changes to the content of a dashboard. That can be quite a job if you have multiple workspaces as you have do the same changes in the dashboard for each workspace.


Is this a "feature", bug or just an intentional user interface inconsistency?


I am aware this problem have been reported before, but no action was taken on it.

I think the naming is poor - rather than switching workspaces within which to work, you're saving workspace layouts in the same way as you save model layouts. When you save a layout it's a snapshot - it's not that you're working in a layout version and all changes are saved to that layout automatically until you switch to another layout.

Exactly.That is the problem with dashboards. It saves the content of dashbords, not just the placement of the dashbord. In all other cases, save workspace, save the window position and doesn't care about the content. So it is quite inconsistent and it must be a bug.
