Description of the problem including expected versus actual behavior: (So twisted please bear with me) I was trying to work with saved objects and index patterns and found a very weird bug.

I had ES/Kibana/Metricbeat index pattern. I also loaded beats dashboards(got readymade saved objects). Opened one of the dashboard in dashboards. Things looked great. Then I deleted Index pattern metricbeat. This was my only index pattern. So before navigating to anywhere, I had to recreate my default index pattern. I created metricbeat-* . Then went back to my previously opened metricbeat dashboard. It obviously had a lot of dangling errors about

"Could not locate that index-pattern (id: metricbeat-*), click here to re-create it"

I clicked on the link. Kibana took me to create index pattern page. I gave the id metricbeat-* and tried to recreate it. Kibana warned me about the existing index pattern and asked if it can edit it - I said yes. So my expectation at this point is that everything related in saved objects for this particular index pattern is fine. But when I reopen that dashboard - I still have dangling errors about not being able to locate that index pattern.
