Let me copy the titles and text on Dashboards



Posted Feb 11, 2021

I want to be able to copy text like query names from Dashboards directly. If I see something that looks wrong on a dashboard, I currently take a screenshot, and then keep the image open while I hand type it into the query search. This is a huge time suck to something that should take seconds.

CJ Johnson you should be able to edit queries directly from edit mode in Dashboards

  • Open the Dashboard in Edit Mode
  • Mouseover the upper right corner of the widget in question
  • Select Edit Query

Hi Chris, 

If I am a viewer, I can't edit Dashboards *or* queries though, which is a problem. I end up having to get screenshots from people who want to ask questions about a specific query on a Dashboard. Even if I am an editor, having to open up the Dashboard Editor, wait for it load, then find the query, and open *that* editor, isn't really any faster than taking a screenshot and manually typing out the name. 

Edit: Additionally, this workflow doesn't work unless the Dashboard is shared with me directly, I can't edit a Publicly viewable Dashboard that hasn't explicitly been shared with me, but I can edit those queries.

I would still like to see this feature, updating this so it doesn't get closed out.
