Hello Grafana’s community! I found myself sharing a public dashboard, after the setup I noticed that template variables are not supported. Why so? Is it a security concerned? I believe it would be a great feature being able to use those variables on public dashboards, same a the internal dashboard…

Yes please, that would be very helpful !

I ran into the same limitation with public dashboards and it’s definitely a bit disappointing. We need this feature implemented ASAP
