Clone dashboard group using API | Product Discussions

Hi all,We have a process which triggers the cloning of a group of dashboards using the v3 API.It is not often called so I can't say for sure when it stopped working but we've noticed recently that the dashboard group and the contained dashboards have been cloned but do not contain any of the widgets widgets that are present in the "template".Looking at the REST API v3 Swagger documentation, we have noted a (new?) POST method /dashboard/groups/{id}/asyncclone which looks to also be what is called when cloning a dash group in the UI. We have tried to call this method but receive the message Authentication failed 1401This seems unusual because the same API credentials are being used to add and create devices. If it were a permission issue (API account has full Manage permission of all dashboards), we would expect to see 1403?We've also attempted to use the SDK to achieve the same, although we're seeing different behaviour here - the audit logs suggest the dashboard group has been cloned successfully and references both the ID of the new group and its parent, yet it is nowhere to be found.I will be raising a support ticket but I thought I'd post here to see if we're the only ones experiencing this and might be doing something wrong or if it's a wider issue?Matt
