EXPECT
like other visuals, display error nicely, and user can be able to select some other data source to fix it.

Hi,

I can reproduce your issue.
Honestly, I don't know why behavior is different in enhanced-table visualization, compared to "standard" visualizations, especially since this is a generic feature. would have hoped that Kibana itself manages it well.
And so, I don't know what to change in the plugin so that behavior is as expected.

I can only give you 2 options:

• in "Space A", in Saved Objects screen, you use "Copy to spaces" feature, that copies both the visualization and the associated "Data View".
• Or in "Space B", you export the Visualization to get the JSON. Then you edit it using a text editor, you change the value of "references.id" to reference the new data view id.

Sorry, I have no better solution.
