Hey All 👋 Is there a way to make the metric name that shows up in charts dynamic? So if you select a metric from a drop-down filter within a dashboard the chart would update accordingly. Know I can do a workaround with the Visualization Switcher to swap manually for metrics, but testing what is feasible within GoodData. The largest benefit of this would being able to save the select metrics using the "Save View" function and updating multiple charts within a dashboard. Thank you.

Hi Mark, I understand you would like the chart to be computed based on the metric you select, for example, from a drop down filter in a dashboard. I believe this is a great idea, but unfortunately it could be complex to implement, mainly due to the compatibility of the metric in the context it is placed, i.e, you would need to ensure that the attributes, facts and date dimensions in the metric definition are always compatible with the rest of elements in the insight, otherwise you would get errors at random. All in all, this is not possible at the moment, but I would like to share your idea with your developers!

@Moises Morales no worries. I was trying to recreate something we were able to do in tableau but that makes sense. Thank you!

Depending how important or critical this is for you, I can also propose to discuss it with your account manager Constantin Lungu

all good. not something that is mission critical. would be a nice to have.
@Moises Morales I would say this request is more critical than the dynamic metric one: https://gooddataconnect.slack.com/archives/C04S1MSLEAW/p1730847231576189
