I use latest Grafana 11 and.

I want to get an absolute time range in only certain panels independent from dashboard time picker.

I changed the the “relative time” inside the “query options” to ‘now/y’:

This shows data from January to current month.  
But I need to show the whole year, means data from 1st Jan. up to 31st Dec this year.

How to achieve this - independent from dashboard time picker ?
