Level Trivial Change
Class New Feature
Compatibility Compatible - no manual interaction needed

The new dashlet type "Link existing view" has been added. The previous dashlet view definitions were always holding their own view definition. When an existing view was added to a dashboard, the whole view definition was copied to the dashlet. Later edits to the view / dashboard were not affecting the other.

With this change it is now possible to add a view dashlet to a dashboard that simply reference to a standalone view. When the referenced view is edited, this will change the view in the dashboard.
