2.2.1 Copied Panel is Blank
What
In certain circumstances, when you copy/paste a panel into another dashboard, you may find that the new panel is blank.
When/Why
This will happen most often if the dashboard that you copied from has variables defined that the panel relies upon. For instance, if a panel relies on $host to be the address of your server, but the destination dashboard doesn't have that variable, then the panel will copy, but be blank.

And, once you save those new variables, you should find your copied panel now works:
