Hello Lars,

Many thanks for explanation.

Initially I thought that lastUpdated field in dashboardItems should change
after modifications in them.
Now I understood that dashboardItems are just "glue" for grouping elements
in dashboards, and changes applied to them in fact are changes in dashboard
itself.

One more time, thanks :)

Best Regards,
Araz
