    For javascript extensions in dashboards, the following reference exists:

    https:// ibm.github.io/ca-dashboard-js-api/11.2.0/index.html

    But none for the spec.json file?

    The only official documentation I can find regarding spec.json is the one at:

    https:// www.ibm.com/docs/en/cognos-analytics/11.1.0?topic=views-specjson-description

    But this one is only explaining how to modify the user interface, not for dashboard extensions.

    I can only find a few descriptions regarding dashboard extensions, such as the following github blog post:

    https:// github.com/rnassif/Cognos-extensions/blob/main/README.md#example-2

    And some very sparse info on ibm docs thats really of little use.

    At the ibm accelerator catalog there is a few dashboard extensions to download, that utilize many json properties within spec.json that I cant find documentation for anywhere.

    Where is the spec.json documentation for dashboard javascript extensions?
