I'm facing a persistent issue when copying a report with an embedded data source. Specifically, the IMAGE semantic type dimensions in the copied report's embedded data source automatically switch to 'hidden'. This action disrupts the functionality of charts that rely on these image dimensions.

Expected Outcome: Tables and charts with IMAGE semantic type dimensions in the copied report should function as expected. Source report image

Actual Outcome: Tables and charts with the IMAGE semantic type dimension in the copied report receive an "Invalid Dimension" error. Copied report image

This problem specifically occurs with community connectors:

The schema of the Image URL and Image field:
const schema = [
{
name: 'image_url',
label: 'Image URL',
description: 'Image link',
dataType: 'STRING',
semantics: {
conceptType: 'DIMENSION',
semanticType: 'URL'
}
},
{
name: 'image',
label: 'Image',
description: 'Image',
dataType: 'STRING',
isDefault: true,
semantics: {
conceptType: 'DIMENSION',
semanticType: 'IMAGE'
},
formula: "IMAGE(photo_url)",
}
]

To reproduce: try copying the provided report

As a temporary solution, I've been resorting to manually setting these hidden image dimensions to 'show' in the copied report's embedded data source. https://i.stack.imgur.com/EEsJP.png

While the above workaround does seem to patch up the issue temporarily, it is far from a viable long-term solution. Any guidance on how to address this problem in a more permanent manner would be immensely appreciated.

Thanks in advance for your time and help.
