<!-- Greeting --> Hi @ferjanin! I'm [Dosu](https://go.dosu.dev/dosubot) and I’m helping the superset team. <!-- Answer --> I investigated this and can confirm you've found a real bug. The root cause is clear: **The backend correctly adds `force=true` to dashboard URLs, but the frontend dashboard components don't read or use this parameter.** Here's the breakdown: **Why chart reports work:** The [Chart component in explore mode](https://github.com/apache/superset/blob/829e4d92d91ceae4b43b1ed3b063ffe45377799c/superset-frontend/src/components/Chart/Chart.tsx#L197-L206) actively reads the `force` parameter from the URL via `getUrlParam(URL_PARAMS.force)` and applies it to data requests. **Why dashboard reports fail:** The dashboard components ([DashboardBuilder](https://github.com/apache/superset/blob/829e4d92d91ceae4b43b1ed3b063ffe45377799c/superset-frontend/src/dashboard/components/DashboardBuilder/DashboardBuilder.tsx#L421), [extractUrlParams utility](https://github.com/apache/superset/blob/829e4d92d91ceae4b43b1ed3b063ffe45377799c/superset-frontend/src/dashboard/util/extractUrlParams.ts#L21-L48)) don't extract or use the `force` URL parameter. They handle `standalone` correctly for report rendering, but simply ignore `force`. The backend side is working properly—[`_get_url()` in execute.py](https://github.com/apache/superset/blob/829e4d92d91ceae4b43b1ed3b063ffe45377799c/superset/commands/report/execute.py#L232-L237) adds `force=true` to dashboard URLs when `force_screenshot` is enabled. The gap is entirely on the frontend. **Fix approach:** The dashboard initialization code would need to: 1. Extract the `force` parameter from the URL (similar to how `standalone` is handled) 2. Pass it through to chart data requests during initial dashboard load The infrastructure already exists—[chartAction.js](https://github.com/apache/superset/blob/829e4d92d91ceae4b43b1ed3b063ffe45377799c/superset-frontend/src/components/Chart/chartAction.js#L157-L203) supports the `force` flag, it just isn't being set from the URL in dashboard context. <!-- Dosu Comment Footer --> *To reply, just mention [@dosu](https://go.dosu.dev/dosubot?utm_source=github&utm_medium=bot-comment&utm_campaign=github-assistant&utm_content=brand-link).* --- <sup>How did I do?
