Default dashboard editing is not convenient
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

If I set a dashboard as my default dashboard, and then I want to edit it, I need to do this:

  1. Do to dashboards
  2. Among the list of all dashboards locate mine (only indication is a small "Installed" mark)
  3. Click on "Manage Dashboard"

It would be much better if instead the default dashboard just had a button "Manage dashboard" just like view (e.g. https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/dashboard/view/164/) has.

Quoting https://secure.phabricator.com/w/changelog/2017.07/ :

You can no longer copy dashboards. The newer menus reduce the need to create copies (by letting you solve some problems by simply having two or more dashboards) and removing this option allows us to simplify the policy model in the future. [...]
We have made some other changes to try to make creating panels easier, and expect to continue making similar changes in this vein to further reduce the need to copy dashboards and improve the ease of panel creation. We also plan to simplify dashboard policies.

I think this was effectively resolved a while ago, there's a little edit icon next to the selected board now that lets you jump to the edit view:

Thanks! Indeed, there's the edit icon now.
