The dashboard pallete that is installed by default with the NodeRED app on ctrlX is node-red-dashboard v3.6.5, which is based on Angular v1. As of the end of 2021, Angular v1 is in End of Life status and will now longer maintained or updated with any sort of security improvements. The pallete still works and likely will for a while, but should users have any concerns about working on it without future support?
Are there plans to update the NodeRED app to a different default dashboard pallete such as Flow Fuse Dashboard v2.0, uiBuilder, or another? Or will it be up to the user to determine the best application for themselves and install the necessary palletes?

@lbye ,
My opinion is there is no need for concern about the pallete ceasing to function. They should continue to work as they do today if you don't change versions.
I'm unaware of any plans to update the default dashboard palletes, but we can certainly look at the ones you mentioned. The user can always install additional palletes they would like to use.

We are currently investigating the possibility of updating the dashboard to flowfuse. But as it would be a incompatible change, also customer effort for updating their projects needs to be considered. Even the existing migration tool still seems to have some problems.
