Custom dashboards are not preserved in project templates
Merchants are unable to include customized dashboard views and charts within project templates. When a new project is created from a template, the dashboard reverts to default settings, forcing users to manually recreate charts for every new project.

The new template V2 engine completely got rid of the ability to include a dashboard within a template, which was a great loss
It takes significant effort to customise dashboards that are specific to each client requirement. There is no current way to duplicate dashboards other than copying from an existing project, which is a waste of time as what is the point of a project template then.
I updated the Dashboard elements to only include the charts we need, however when creating a new project from the template, the Dashboard reverts to the out of the box elements.
Is there a way to set a dashboard default view so each time a new project is opened using the template, the same charts display across projects on the dashboard?
