joezeon opened a new issue, #42116:
URL: https://github.com/apache/superset/issues/42116

### Screenshots/recordings
_No response_
### Superset version
6.1.0
### Python version
3.10
### Node version
18 or greater
### Browser
Chrome
### Additional context
This was working in Superset 6.0.0. And when saved, the refresh interval would default to the number set.
### Checklist
- [x] I have searched Superset docs and Slack and didn't find a solution to my problem.
- [x] I have searched the GitHub issue tracker and didn't find a similar bug report.
- [ ] I have checked Superset's logs for errors and if I found a relevant Python stacktrace, I included it here as text in the "additional context" section.

I pulled in the merged backend fix from #42354 and confirmed it preserves an existing `refresh_frequency` when the backend payload omits the field.
However, the original Dashboard Properties > Advanced JSON reproduction still appears to fail in the UI. If I manually change `json_metadata.refresh_frequency` to `100` and save, reopening Dashboard Properties shows it reverted to `0`.
Can this issue be reopened, and/or will the remaining frontend changes continue under #42142?

This looks like a real bug caused by a destructive default pattern in the backend's `set_dash_metadata()` method in `superset/daos/dashboard.py`. When the dashboard is saved, this line always overwrites `refresh_frequency` with a fallback of `0` if the key isn't present in the incoming request data [[1]](https://github.com/apache/superset/blob/829e4d92d91ceae4b43b1ed3b063ffe45377799c/superset/daos/dashboard.py#L260):
```python
md["refresh_frequency"] = data.get("refresh_frequency", 0)
```
Between 6.0.0 and 6.1.0, the PropertiesModal was [refactored into modular sections](https://github.com/apache/superset/pull/34711) and a [comprehensive auto-refresh feature](https://github.com/apache/superset/pull/37459) was introduced. These changes likely altered how metadata flows through the save pipeline, exposing this pre-existing issue where `refresh_frequency` set via the Advanced JSON editor gets silently reset.
**Suggested fix** — modify the logic to only update `refresh_frequency` when it's explicitly provided, preserving the existing value otherwise:
```python
# Instead of:
md["refresh_frequency"] = data.get("refresh_frequency", 0)
# Use:
if "refresh_frequency" in data:
md["refresh_frequency"] = data["refresh_frequency"]
```
The same destructive default pattern applies to other metadata fields in that method (`expanded_slices`, `color_scheme`, `label_colors`, etc.), so it may be worth applying this fix broadly [[2]](https://github.com/apache/superset/blob/829e4d92d91ceae4b43b1ed3b063ffe45377799c/superset/daos/dashboard.py).
