Hi Araz,

you should not add reports etc to existing dashboard items. You should
either add new or remove existing dashboard items (no updates).

Have a look at the docs here:

https://www.dhis2.org/doc/snapshot/en/developer/html/ch01s23.html#d5e3470

A POST request URL for adding a chart to a specific dashboard could look
like this, where the last id query parameter value is the chart resource
identifier:

/api/dashboards/vQFhmLJU5sK/items/content?type=chart&id=LW0O27b7TdD

or inspect the requests while using the web-based dashboard:

https://apps.dhis2.org/demo/dhis-web-dashboard-integration/index.action

To add new dashboard items you can POST to /dashboards/<uid>/items/content.
Through that resource, the last updated property of the dashboard itself
will be updated.

best regards,

Lars
