I am trying to copy-paste a Looker Studio dashboard to an empty dashboard using copy the whole thing and paste to the empty dashboard. After that I am willing to change the data base behind it so I can display other info. The data base has all the elements the same as the first data base, like the names and everything only the data is different. When I do that it says missing fields even though they are the same, what can I do?
It worked to do it like for the past 2 months like this but now it keeps telling me new fields even though they are the same!

It's the same issue as here but I can't fix it that way.
Hi @Andrei_3,
Thank you for joining our community.
I understand that it can be confusing when something that usually works suddenly stops working. Let me share with a workaround that might help.
When you copy a report, the copy inherits the following from the original:
- pages
- charts
- date range controls
- filter controls
- data and style settings (e.g. colors, fonts, decimal precision, etc.)
- text, shapes, and images
- Google Analytics segments
- filters
Copying a report does not create copies of its data sources. When you copy a report, you must select which data source(s) to use for the copy. If you have at least view access to the original data sources, you can use those; otherwise, you must select new data sources to use.
This will allow you to copy the entire report or design except the data sources which you can reconfigure anytime.
I hope I was able to provide you with useful insights.
