# Metabase Dashboard Question Duplicator and Modifier

This Python script utilizes the Metabase API to duplicate questions from a specific dashboard tab and upload them to a new tab with modifications.

> [!WARNING]  

> Use with caution as it modifies your Metabase dashboard. Use a duplicated test dashboard first.

## Functionality

    Retrieves Questions: The script retrieves questions from a specified tab within a Metabase dashboard using the provided API key and base URL.

    Applies Modifications: A provided function allows you to modify the retrieved questions before creating duplicates. This function can be used to change question names, descriptions, or other properties.

    Creates New Tab: The script creates a new tab with a unique name (e.g., "Modified - {original_tab_name}") within the same dashboard.

    Uploads Modified Questions: The modified questions are uploaded as cards to the newly created tab.

A[Start] --> B{Get API Key, Base URL, Dashboard ID, Tab Name};

B --> C{Define Modification Function};

C --> D{Retrieve Questions from Metabase Tab};

D --> E{Modify Questions, using Modification Function};

E --> F{Create New Tab with Unique Name};

F --> G{Upload Modified Questions to New Tab};

G --> H[End - Success];

```

## Usage

* API_KEY: Replace YOUR_API_KEY in the script with your actual Metabase API key.

* BASE_URL: Replace https://your-metabase-domain.com with the base URL of your Metabase instance.

* DASBOARD_ID & TAB_NAME: Update the dashboard_id and tab_name variables with the ID of the dashboard containing the target tab and the name of the tab itself.   

* Modification Function: Define a function named modify_question that takes a question dictionary as input and returns the modified dictionary. Refer to the example provided in the script for guidance.

* Run the Script: Execute the script using python metabase_question_duplicator.py (replace metabase_question_duplicator.py with your actual filename).

The scrit does not duplicate the text (as they do not have a dashcard_id).

## Example

The script includes an example modify_question_name function that simply appends " (Modified)" to the question name. You can modify this function to perform more complex operations on the question data.

Note: This script requires appropriate permissions within Metabase to access dashboards, tabs, and create new content.
