Variables not working on public dashboards

Grafana Dashboards
1

I use grafana-server Version 10.4.0 and OS: Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS.

I have a public dashboard that I want to use variables functionality with it. I saw that currently Grafana does not support variables function in public dashboards, so I basically added data links (${__url}?var-location=${__value.location}) to my panel view to make the location variable work. It works perfectly fine while in edit mode, but when I publish the dashboard to public it failed working (since the url changes each time I select a location).

So I basicly edited the data links to change {__url} part with the key I got when I made the dashboard public. Then, the data links functionality added the desired filtration query to the link, but it did not refreshed the dashboard with that new url. When I manually pressed enter, it worked as it should be.

My question is: is there any workaround solution to make variables functionality work?
Or when will Grafana support variables in a public dashboard?

Hey!

Enterprise customer here. Reaaally missing on the compatibility of dashboard variables on public dashboards. Would be lovely to see that added to future releases.

Thanks again for the great product,
