Hi @jthomas
Yes, you spotted the change for version 2.40 and above. As mentioned in the v2.40 upgrade notes:
When updating a Dashboard, user is required to have METADATA_WRITE permission to the Dashboard itself and METADATA_READ permission to all referenced objects in all DashboardItems. Administrators can use cascade sharing in order to grant required sharing permissions when needed.
# 2.40 Upgrade Notes
> :warning: **Please ensure you have read the upgrade notes from the [PREVIOUS RELEASE](../2.39/README.md), if upgrading from an earlier version**
## Update Dashboard
- When updating a `Dashboard`, user is required to have `METADATA_WRITE` permission to the `Dashboard` itself and `METADATA_READ` permission to all referenced objects in all `DashboardItems`. Administrators can use [cascade sharing](https://docs.dhis2.org/en/use/user-guides/dhis-core-version-master/analysing-data/dashboards.html#cascade-sharing-of-visualizations-on-the-dashboard) in order to grant required sharing permissions when needed.
## Line Listing/Analytics
The dates related to the time dimension "Last updated on" will also take into consideration the last updated date used by mobile or other API clients. Basically, the rule being applied is: if there is a "last updated" date persisted by the client/mobile, this date will take precedence in analytics queries, and will be used by the "Last updated on" dimension. Otherwise, it will use the default/usual server-side "last updated" date.
The time dimension "Event date", which represents the execution date and can assume different names depending on the program/stage (e.g. "Report date", "Event date", "Visit date", etc.), will now display the timestamp along with the date. This will give more precision to the client/mobile applications if needed. If no timestamp is set, it will be displayed with zeros.
## API
- From 2.40 onwards the `attributeValues` property in the `/gist` API is a object map with the attribute IDs as keys and the plain values as values. Further properties of the attribute will no longer be included in the values.
- A new column `ounamehierarchy` was added to events and enrollments analytics tables. A full export of analytics tables is required in order to make analytics queries work correctly, for events and enrollments.

I hope that you are able to resolve this easily, please keep us updated!
Thanks!
