Dashboard: move a widget from one dashboard to another - #2923
Dashboard: move a widget from one dashboard to another#2923Pierre-Gilles wants to merge 3 commits into
Conversation
In dashboard edit mode, each configured widget now has a "move to another dashboard" action in its header. The user picks one of the other dashboards, the widget is removed from the current dashboard and added at the end of the first column of the target dashboard. Nothing is persisted until the dashboard is saved: pending moves are kept in the edit page state and applied through the existing dashboard update API when the user clicks "Save". Target dashboards are updated before the current one so a widget can never be lost, and already moved widgets are dropped from the pending list so a retry after an error does not duplicate them. An info message is displayed while moves are pending, and the loader is now stopped when a dashboard save fails, so the user can fix the error and retry.

Make destination updates idempotent.
Line 178 appends boxes and sends a non-idempotent patch. If the server applies the patch but the client loses the response, the request rejects and the queue remains. A user retry fetches the updated destination and appends the same box again.
Use a server-deduplicated move operation ID, or a versioned conditional update with durable deduplication. Do not rely only on a resolved client response to remove a queued move.

Declining this one, as out of scope for this PR.
The suggested remedies — a server-deduplicated move operation ID, or a versioned conditional update with durable deduplication — both require a new server-side contract. This PR is deliberately front-only: it reuses the existing PATCH /api/v1/dashboard/:selector endpoint and adds no server change.
The residual window is also narrow and not specific to this feature: it needs a PATCH to succeed while its response is lost, followed by a user retry. The same read-modify-write non-idempotency already exists in the normal dashboard save path, so addressing it properly belongs in a dedicated change to the dashboard API rather than here.
What this PR does guarantee is the more damaging failure mode: destination dashboards are patched before the source dashboard is saved, and each box is dropped from the pending list as soon as its destination write resolves, so a widget is never lost and a successful move is never replayed.

@Pierre-Gilles, understood. The finding requires server-side support for durable idempotency, so it does not fit this front-end-only PR.
The current ordering protects against widget loss during a source-dashboard save failure. The duplicate risk requires an ambiguous destination PATCH result followed by a retry.
Would you like me to create a follow-up GitHub issue for an idempotent dashboard move API?

Learning: Pull request `#2923` intentionally makes front-end-only dashboard move changes and reuses the existing `PATCH /api/v1/dashboard/:selector` API. Durable idempotency for cross-dashboard moves requires a separate server-side dashboard API change.

Stale comment
The feature matches the forum request well: pending moves stay in edit state until Save, targets are updated before the source dashboard, and the loader is correctly stopped on a failed save. This is a front-only change with no
DEVICE_FEATURE_*or API contract updates.Blocking:
boxesToMoveis initialized in the constructor and never cleared when the edit page switches dashboard.componentDidUpdatecallsinit()oncurrentUrlchange, which re-fetchescurrentDashboard(so unsaved layout/name edits on the previous dashboard are discarded) but leavesboxesToMovein place. The left sidebar is the normal way to open another dashboard’s editor, so this is easy to hit:
- Edit dashboard A, move a widget to B (removed locally, queued in
boxesToMove).- Click dashboard C in the sidebar without saving.
- Save C →
moveBoxesToOtherDashboards()still PATCHes B, while A on the server still has the widget → duplicate.- Worse: switch to B (the target) and save → the GET+append PATCH is then overwritten by
saveDashboard’s PATCH of B’s local state, which does not contain the widget → the pending move is silently dropped (A still has it on the server).Reset
boxesToMove: []ininit()(same lifetime as the other unsaved edits). Pending moves are tied to the dashboard being edited; leaving that editor without saving should discard them.Not
risk:high(front-only dashboard JSON, same class as #2912). No device-taxonomy/philosophy question, so noneeds:human-review.Otherwise looks good: target-first save order, grouping by destination, dropping a destination from the pending list as soon as its PATCH succeeds, hiding the action for unconfigured boxes / mobile reorder / single dashboard, and EN/FR/DE copy for the pending-move banner.
Residuals (non-blocking):
- If target PATCHes succeed and the current dashboard then fails, Cancel duplicates the widget (source still on the server, target already updated). Inherent to a front-only flow without box IDs; the anti-loss order is still the right one.
- Moved photo widgets skip
removeEmptyBoxesempty-URL filtering.- Always appending to column 0 is documented in the UI; if #2902’s flexible layout lands, “first column” may need a rethink.
- No Cypress coverage for the new flow (
Dashboard.cy.jsstill only covers create/add/delete).Sent by Cursor Automation: Automatic PR review
- Reset the pending moves when the edited dashboard changes, so a move queued on one dashboard can no longer be applied while editing another one (which duplicated or silently dropped the widget). - Use native buttons for the "move to another dashboard" trigger and its destination list, so the menu can be opened and used with a keyboard. - Add a key and wrap emojis on the destination dashboard names, like the other dashboard lists.

Just tested this, the UX is a bit weird, saving a dashboard means exiting the edit state. When I move a dashboard widget, I immediately want to see the dashboard where it was saved, could you improve the UX? |
The UX is a bit weird, needs to be improved
… readers The icon-only trigger had an accessible name but no state: assistive technologies could not tell whether the destination list was open. Bind aria-expanded to the existing dropdown visibility state, and declare the popup with aria-haspopup and aria-controls pointing at a stable id derived from the box coordinates. Autofix-Pass: 2

Re-review after bb0542c. The previous blocking issues remain fixed (init() still resets boxesToMove, destination list still has key + wrapEmojisJSX), and this follow-up correctly exposes the move dropdown to assistive tech: aria-expanded is bound to the existing open state, aria-controls points at a stable id from the box coordinates, and aria-haspopup="true" is the right value for a Tab-navigated list of native buttons (claiming menu without arrow-key behaviour would be worse).
The rest of the design is unchanged and still looks right: pending moves stay in edit state until Save, destinations are updated before the source dashboard, a destination is dropped from the queue as soon as its PATCH succeeds, the action is hidden for unconfigured boxes / mobile reorder / a single dashboard, and the loader is stopped on a failed save. Front-only, no DEVICE_FEATURE_* or API contract change.

Implements feature request: https://community.gladysassistant.com/t/tableaux-de-bord-deplacer-des-blocs-entre-les-tableaux/10551
Description
In dashboard edit mode, each configured widget now has a "Move to another dashboard" action in its header, next to the drag handle and the delete button. Clicking it opens a dropdown listing the other dashboards; picking one removes the widget from the current dashboard and schedules it to be added at the end of the first column of the target dashboard.
How it fits the existing edit/save flow:
PATCH /api/v1/dashboard/:selectorAPI (one request per target dashboard, widgets grouped), then the current dashboard is saved without the moved widgets — so a widget can never be lost if one of the requests fails.This is a front-only change: no new endpoint and no server change, only the existing dashboard read/update API. Translations were added for
en,frandde.Side fix: the loader was never stopped when saving a dashboard failed, which left the editor stuck behind the dimmer. It is now stopped so the user can fix the error and retry.
