I have a dashboard variable `$datasource` of the type ‘data source’.

Inside the ‘original’ Row (i.e. the one that will be repeated) i have a single Stats panel and it uses the `$datasource` variable as the data source:

Inside Row options i configure repeat based on `$datasource` variable:

The Rows get repeated alright - each row for each datasource.

But only the panel inside the ‘original’ row shows meaningful data - all the rest are showing zeros:

I inspected the request and response date of some of the repeated Stats panels, and all of them appear to query the correct data source. For example, the ‘brazilsouth’ panel which shows 0 in the above printscreen, is querying the ‘brazilsouth’ data source, just as i intend:

Why is that?

**EDIT** : exactly tha same thing happens if instead of Row i repeat Panel itself

EDIT 2: OK, now i actually see the root cause of this - for the repeated panels the `$deployment` dashboard variable resolves into the values that belong to the original (seed) panel. The `$deployment` is a variable of type Query and refers to `$datasource` variable as it’s datasource. When the dashboard is saved, some default values for variables has to be saved and the values of `$deployment` happen to be chained to the first value of `$datasource` . So i need to somehow unchain them

Break the dependency:  
Do NOT make $deployment depend on $datasource  
or  
Remove $deployment and use direct query filters instead
