Hi

I have created 3 visualizations as below:  
Visualization\_1 ====\> Markdown  
Visualization\_2 ====\> bar chart  
Visualization\_3 ====\> bar chart

I have created two dashboards also as below:  
Dashboard\_1 ====\> This contains Visualization\_1 and Visualization\_2  
Dashboard\_2 ====\> This contains Visualization\_2 and Visualization\_3

Content of Visualiztion\_1 is as below:

```
> - [Dashboard 1](#/dashboard/Dashboard_1)
> 
> - [Dashboard 2](#/dashboard/Dashboard_2)

```

Now when I click on Dashboard\_1 link in my markdown visualization (Visualization\_1), I get error "Could not locate that dashboard (id: Dashboard\_1)"

Same is the error when I click on Dashboard 2 link as well. Only id changed to Dashboard\_2.

Can anyone please help me on this.

Thanks

Hello,  
That looks like a valid markdown. Is the same dashboard name displayed in the address bar when you open it normally?

Hi Marius

My problem has been resolved now.

Actually the issue was that although I had given the dashboard names like dashboard\_1 but in actual the name was going for some system generated value instead of dashboard name provided by me.

So, I exported the dashboard and edited its JSON and change the dashboard id to dashboard\_1 and then imported dashboard again.

After that it worked properly.

Could you please suggest if we can change this dashboard id without exporting the dashboard and importing again.

Thanks

Hello,  
Sorry for the long time it took me to answer. Exporting and importing the dashboard is the only way you can change the dashboard ID. You could modify the .kibana index but you can break things easier that way, so I would recommend against it.
