Having more than 1001 options in a board variable

[verdieg]

• What Grafana version and what operating system are you using?
  Grafana v8.0.6 docker image.

• What are you trying to achieve?
  I’d like a variable with 2000 options.

• How are you trying to achieve it?
  In the variable query I have

import "influxdata/influxdb/v1"
v1.tagValues(
    bucket: v.bucket,
    tag: "my_tag",
    predicate: (r) => true,
    start: -1d
)

• What happened?
  Only 1001 options are available in the variable select box.

• What did you expect to happen?
  My 2000 options to be available in the select box.

• Did you receive any errors in the Grafana UI or in related logs? If so, please tell us exactly what they were.

In the browser network tag I got the error

A query returned too many datapoints and the results have been truncated at 1001 points to prevent memory issues. At the current graph size, Grafana can only draw 100.

• Did you follow any online instructions? If so, what is the URL?
  Grafana v7.4.3 Variable "returned too many points in a series" but it only works for query in a panel, not in a variable.

Hi @verdieg

Interesting idea. I think you should start a discussion around a feature request over in the repo.
