The root cause is confirmed by the current code in two places: 1. **`Slice.cls_model` will `KeyError` on `"semantic_view"`** — [`DatasourceDAO.sources`](https://github.com/apache/superset/blob/829e4d92d91ceae4b43b1ed3b063ffe45377799c/superset/daos/datasource.py#L34-L38) only maps `TABLE`, `QUERY`, and `SAVEDQUERY`. There is no `"semantic_view"` entry, so when `Dashboard.datasources` or `datasets_trimmed_for_slices` iterates the slices and calls `slc.cls_model`, it hits an unhandled key [[1]](https://github.com/apache/superset/blob/829e4d92d91ceae4b43b1ed3b063ffe45377799c/superset/models/slice.py#L142-L147). 2. **`datasets_trimmed_for_slices` silently drops the miss** — it queries `cls_model` by `datasource_id` and only appends to the result list `if datasource:`, so a semantic-view slice contributes nothing, producing the empty `[]` you observed [[2]](https://github.com/apache/superset/blob/829e4d92d91ceae4b43b1ed3b063ffe45377799c/superset/models/dashboard.py#L268-L288). This is a recognized gap in the semantic-layer integration with the dashboard rendering path. Several open PRs touch adjacent code: - [**PR #42539**](https://github.com/apache/superset/pull/42539) directly addresses semantic views and datasets sharing independent id sequences — the dashboard resolving datasources by id alone without considering type. It fixes the display-control (FilterBar) and drill-to-detail paths with type-aware resolution [[3]](https://github.com/apache/superset/pull/42539). - [**PR #43500**](https://github.com/apache/superset/pull/43500) explicitly notes that `Slice.datasource` only resolves the `table` relationship and that a chart pointed at any other `datasource_type` "could never actually render" — the same underlying limitation you're hitting on the dashboard side [[4]](https://github.com/apache/superset/pull/43500). - The dashboard *filter configuration* support for semantic views was added in merged [PR #40475](https://github.com/apache/superset/pull/40475), but that only addressed native filter setup, not the bootstrap of datasource payloads for rendering chart tiles [[5]](https://github.com/apache/superset/pull/40475). **What needs to happen** to fix this: `SemanticView` needs to be registered in `DatasourceDAO.sources` [[6]](https://github.com/apache/superset/blob/829e4d92d91ceae4b43b1ed3b063ffe45377799c/superset/daos/datasource.py), and `datasets_trimmed_for_slices` [[2]](https://github.com/apache/superset/blob/829e4d92d91ceae4b43b1ed3b063ffe45377799c/superset/models/dashboard.py#L268-L288) needs to resolve the `SemanticView` model (with a compatible `data_for_slices()` method or equivalent) so the frontend receives `datasource_type: "semantic_view"` and issues the correct data request. Given PR #42539 already touches the adjacent display-control/drill code, coordinating with it would avoid conflicting changes. On your side-question: `GET /api/v1/semantic_view/` returning 405 is a deliberate omission — `SemanticViewRestApi` excludes `"get"` from `include_route_methods`. [PR #42839](https://github.com/apache/superset/pull/42839) documents this explicitly and says a real detail route is a follow-up; `/<pk>/structure` is the only current read path [[7]](https://github.com/apache/superset/pull/42839). <!-- Dosu Comment Footer --> *To reply, just mention [@dosu](<https://go.dosu.dev/dosubot?utm_source=github&utm_medium=bot-comment&utm_campaign=github-comment-footer-20260415&utm_content=reply-with-mention&utm_term=apache%2Fsuperset>).* --- Share context across your team and agents.
