Move dashboard between instances and keep the dashboard ID the same

[barase]

I'm moving dashboards from instance A to B. I'd like to keep the dashboard ID the same across both instances for embedding and link purposes.

Steps I've tried using gazer commands, however after step 5, the dashboard ID has not updated.

1. Import dashboard json file from instance A
2. Export json file to instance B
3. Re-Import json file from instance B
4. Edit dashboard_id in json file
5. Export json file back to instance B using --force

Is there another command I could use to override the dashboard_id or keep it the same when moving between instances?

There is no way to keep the dashboard id the same. It is an ascending integer. but you can use a slug instead of the dashboard id in the URLs, that will be consistent across instances.
