I'm having trouble updating seemingly any node through the palette manager, and it seems, through npm as well. I think this started after updating to the latest version of node and npm.  
Here's the log it's generating:

```auto

```

I've tried putting that install command in the terminal after deleting the "engine-strict" part, and it sure acts like it works, but it doesn't seem to have successfully updated, in this case, dashboard.

Thank you for the help!

This node has been locked to requiring node js V6.x - you are running nodejs v16.x

You could request the author updates that node but since it was last published 6y ago, I don't hold much hope.

Do you need this node? Is there a more up to date alternative?

Wow...just wow. I never even noticed it was getting hung up on another node....I certainly didn't need it, deleted it, and it works great now. Thank you very much!
