This is expected - older versions of Kibana are not compatible with more recent versions.

However I think in this specific version pairing (7.7 -\> 7.8) there are no migrations happening, so you can try the approach explained here: [Import dashboard in kibana from 7.5.0 version to 7.4.0](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/import-dashboard-in-kibana-from-7-5-0-version-to-7-4-0/236914)
