Datamodel should list all dependent dashboards not just where this is the primary model

[Tim]

See pictures.

Or go: 1. Open datamodel. 2. Click the Dashboards dropdown. 3. Click Open Dashboard.

It lists dependent dashboards. But it includes only dashboards where this data model is the "primary" data source. That is dangerous. It made me think that "No dashboards are available for this model" and I nearly deleted the model.

The list should show all dependent dashboards. I will use the API to check dependencies in future.

Definitely agree with this!

Hey @Tim ,

The Open Dashboard are list the Primary dashboards which shared with the Admin User. 
In order to see also dependent widgets:

1. Open the Data Model menu
2. Click on Dependencies 
3. The list of Dependent Widgets and Dashboards are available include the ability to export 

Notes - the list of dependent filters are for the dashboards Created/Shared by/with the Admin User. 

As mentioned, it's suggested to Use the API to list all dependent dashboards per data source. 

1. Api Endpoint /api/v1/dashboards/admin - list all the dashboards include non shared with Admin users. 
2. Parse the "widgetsDatasources" property
   Here is example for widget with multiple data sources
   

best regards

Thanks @AssafHanina, I didn't see the Dependencies button. That (or the API) provides the information I need.

I still think UI makes it likely other people will make the same mistake as me. And why bother having a "Dependencies" button and a "Dashboards" button when they're used for the same thing? I think you should replace the "Dashboards" drop-down with the output the of the "Dependencies" button.
