How to add an existing Platform Analytics dashboard to update set?

I have a dashboard created in Platform Analytics long time ago, now I want to add it to a new update set, how to add it. I have added the "add to update set" tool, however it only works for traditional dashboard in pa_dashboard table, not the dashboards in Platform Analytics.

Hi @Lisa71 #

I'm wondering about this question, as I already had answered it before.

I have recommended creating a copy with an open update set in the background.

That works great, however I remember "add to update set" tool can also add dependency like indicators, however the duplicate dashboard can't add indicators/reports to the update set.

Hi @Lisa71 

all artifacts (records from configuration tables) in ServiceNow are related to each via references and thus span up a large tree. The problem is you cannot follow the complete tree for adding something to an update set as at the end you will capture the entire system. 

And the creators of the "Add to Update Set" feature have decided to follow that artifact tree for a certain amount of levels depending on the topic.

That means that sometimes not everything you are expecting is captured, resulting in additional manual activities.

Thanks for the clarify. I tested in traditional dashboard table, pa_dashboards.list, open one dashboard, click "add to update set", it can capture the depdency indicators, however in the Platform Analytics dashboard, go to "open record" to click "add to update set", on the dashboard widget can be captured. Any way we can capture dependency like the traditional dashboard? Thanks.
