Yes this must be some left-overs in the demo database from upgrades over
the years. Please ignore this. I assume that in your local database you
first load a dashboard, then the related items, so you should never read
those orphaned items. I think its up the server / DHIS 2 to clean this up
and the client should be robust enough to ignore them.

Yes again some stale outdated records from demo db, I will clean this up
later.

Yes that report actually exist. I can see it has publicaccess set to none.
You probably access it by using the admin user or some other user which
does not have the ALL authority and hence cannot see it.

This is a general problem in terms of cascading sharing - i.e. sharing the
dashboard without giving access to the items in the dashboard. This is a
general problem we need to solve on the server side and something you can
ignore for now on the client side.

regards,

Lars
