Previously, migrating old view widgets to the new embedded view format could fail with a KeyError if the stored dashboard configuration was missing optional fields such as group_painters, browser_reload, num_columns, column_headers, or sorters.

These fields now fall back to their default values during migration, so older configurations are handled gracefully.
