@opensearch-project/security Could we assign someone to this issue to drive the 1.2 release?

Attempted to bump version: #848. Integration tests seem to have been failing prior to this PR.

The version will need to bump and then added to the manifest: https://github.com/opensearch-project/opensearch-build/blob/main/manifests/1.2.0/opensearch-dashboards-1.2.0.yml
