Are there any regex expressions needed? This is for the dashboard variables?
It might not show it but does it work if you just manually add it?
thanks for your answers
manually doesn’ t work too
info: my variable is type text box with constant value. i wish that is not a problem type of variable ( string / number) ….
What happens if you use the Explore function with the data source and manually enter everything?

if i set value manually that is ok
in query data source ,grafana show ${juy} and show also « (template variable) 414570 »
414570 is selected value
Is there any kind of variable result that might not be part of the requirement for the query? Or a regex that’s missing?
hi
thanks a lot but my new question is :
does the functionality showed in video working with your dashboard ? because when i do the same operation (write $juy for example) in “transformation datas” ,if after i select “query” and return in “transformation datas” ,grafana change $juy by 0
hi
to be sure that my explanations of this bug are understanding.
i tried this new functionality :
but in my case ,at this step nothing are displaying (template variable)
has anyone tried this functionality ?
thanks
Hi there
Thats exactly the video i also looked at and tried to reproduce the same with the variables in the transformation. But it does not work, also not in version 10.3 Is there maybe a special config needed for this in the backend somewhere? Thanks for reply.
Yes, transformationsVariableSupport

Hello @jangaraj - is there a way to make the panels that use a dashboard variable in a transform, force update/auto refresh when a different variable is selected?
Right now, if the user selects a different variable from the drop down (single select variable), the panels don’t get auto refreshed…the user has to manually refresh via the dashboard refresh button at top right of dashboard. This is annoying, plus it triggers all queries on the dashboard to re-run (which can be costly, and is unnecessary in my case)
Hi @frenchy76
I am facing the same issue, In Grafana v8.4.3, I used ‘.’ in one of the text box variable, and it worked as expected, allowing me to see the data. However, after migrating to v10.4.2, the same '.’ variable is not working. do have any insights or suggestion…
hello sunshinemorningstar
can you send screenshoot please because that’s ok for me with transformationsVariableSupport features configuration (information by jangaraj)
nice day
sure @frenchy76
this screen shot is from Grafana v8.4.3 where i have create a text box variable and the default value is .*
but if i use the same in Grafana v10.4.2. i am not able to see the data in the panel.
Thankyou
