Description

Attempting to Copy tiles between workspaces and getting the above error. All Dashboards involved have write access.
Exploring the error also shows:

Unexpected character encountered while parsing value: <. Path '', line 0, position 0.

Initially thought it was a user access issue, but have tried running on two self created dashboards in My Workspace and still no luck.

Any similar issues?

Research direction

Start with the Copy-PowerBITile command and reproduce the reported response-deserialization failure when copying tiles between workspaces. Compare the response that produces “Unexpected character encountered while parsing value: <” with a successful copy, and consider the issue done when copying works for the described self-created dashboards.
