I'm not sure if it's me or not, but I appear to be missing the option to set a per-device dashboard now. I only just noticed as I got a new phone and it didn't default to my mobile dashboard.

While the intent is understandably good and is a welcomed change for simple installations, it came with annoying side-effect of lost ability to specify default dashboards on per device-level. The proposed wo...
excellent, that worked perfectly
thank you for your responses, I'll keep an eye on the general vibes just in case there's room in a future release to have this be an optional thing or if a PR to do so would be accepted
No worries, you could also look at the Feature Requests on the projects GitHub discussions page to see if there's one for adding the option, if not you could add one there.
