Currently for my project I create a lot of dashboards with really long links because they apply filters such as time range etc. The Kibana shorten URL is great for this.

I'm not moving my dashboards into different workspaces, but now the shorten url api fails:

```auto
'statusCode': 406, 'error': 'Not Acceptable', 'message': 'Short url target path must be in the format "/app/{{appId}}", found "/s/active/app/dashboards"'}

```

The workspace name is active, so generally I just prefix all URL's with the /s/active. Is there a way around this with the Shorten URL API?

Which version of Kibana are you using? It is possible this has been fixed in a more recent version.
