When copying a dashboard from one space to another it looks like a copy of the data view used in that dashboard is being created in the space it was copied into. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/8/1/81dfa2a22218aefe40795bbf0df7dde10e9f0f7c.png) What is the best way to go about copying dashboards to other spaces to prevent this issue? Thanks. ---

Each dashboard/visualization is linked to a data view so in order to have it work on the new space it needs to transfer a copy of the data view as well. ---
