I need to separate a specific chart in a dashboard. The time range is used to adequate the time range of all the charts except one, that must be restricted to a specific time frame, next 4 hours in the future. If I leave data as it is, the chat shows a “Data outside time frame” warning, with a button to readjust time limits. But if I press this button, the dashboard time frame changes and it’s applied to all the charts. Any ideas? I’ve tried a non-existing “timeTo” parameter in the chart JSON, but no solution until now. ---

Welcome @layllong What kind of data source are you using for that specific chart? ---

MySQL Database. But it’s not related with the issue, as far as I know how to include in my query the dashboard variables. My problem is related directly to the limits min/max for the x-axis timeline.
