Just upgraded to cid-cmd 0.2.7 Beta and when trying to run cid-cmd update it always says "No updates available or dashboard(s) is/are broken, use --force to allow selection" but my cudos dashboard is three versions behind the released one. With "cid-cmd status" the tool is not able to determine the current version: Dashboard status: Name (id): CUDOS Dashboard (cudos) Status: up to date Health: healthy Version: -1 Datasets: compute_savings_plan_eligible_spend, customer_all, ec2_running_cost, s3_view, summary_view

When trying to --force the update on a specific dashboard I got a not authorized error when accessing an external account id: [dashboard-id] Please select installation(s) from the list: CUDOS Dashboard (arn:aws:quicksight:eu-west-1:xxxxxxxxxxx:dashboard/cudos, healthy, up to date) CRITICAL - Error: An error occurred (AccessDeniedException) when calling the DescribeTemplate operation: User: arn:aws:sts::xxxxxxxxxxx:assumed-role/AWSReservedSSO_YYYYYYYYis not authorized to perform: quicksight:DescribeTemplate on resource: arn:aws:quicksight:us-east-1:223485597511:template/cudos_dashboard_v3 with an explicit deny in a service control policy - Cannot find cudos_dashboard_v3 in account 223485597511.

How to update the dashboard if installed by cloudformation advanced deployment cid-cfn.yaml? For example update from version v2.5 to v2.7

[@yuriyprykhodko7409]

cid-cfn.yaml is used only for initial deployment of the dashboards. If you have dashboards deployed there is no need to update CloudFormation template to latest version as dashboards are updated with cid-cmd tool as described in the video regardless of initial deployment method or template version
