Hi,

I want to add the custom dashboards created by users to the navigation file(default.xml) of my app dynamically

This question talks about using a script. But i'm not sure how to go about doing that

Any suggestion welcome

Thanks

Is there a reason you are trying to have it dynamically added by a script?

You could also just build a navigation that would dynamically include it based on the fact the view is in the app. Also, you could get more specific and use a match so if your users use a naming convention it could also appear under a menu.
