What is the logic behind the auto-mapping feature in Dashboards?

Question

Hi! I'm trying to get the platform to auto-map dashbaord data variables, but I fail to see the logic of the feature. This is what I didCreated a survey with several kinds of questions and various combinations of question numbers, question lables, export tags (for Matrix)	Created a workflow that copies the responses of the survey to a second survey	Created a Dashboard, added the first survey as a data source (all variables in that survey are created automatically)	Added the second survey as a second data source (with identical data and variables to survey 1!)	And… the auto-mapping fails! Why?These are the ID combinations I tried:Multiple ChoiceQ1 / alg_tevreden	alg_tevreden / Algemene tevredenheid	alg_tevreden / (empty)	alg_tevreden / alg_tevredenMatrixQ1 / kw_matrix_basis / isbetrouwbaar	kw_matrix_basis / Basis klantwaarden / isbetrouwbaar	kw_matrix_basis / (empty) / isbetrouwbaar	kw_matrix_basis / kw_matrix_basis / isbetrouwbaarInterestingly, the auto-mapping catches combinations 2 and 3 for the MC:The auto-mapping fails to find a match with all the Matrix questions: The auto-mapping also fails to map the variables in groups:

I’ve also had issues with it never auto-mapping any fields in a measure group. For the most part, it’ll map other fields that have the exact same label name, but I faced some one-off issues where even fields with the exact same name aren’t appropriately auto-mapped either.You could try submitting an idea in Evolve, since this seems to be a lacking capability/ performance issue with the tool.
