Hello, integrated grafana with my web application and after making couple of dashboards and making data links between them i realized that every time i enter dashboard i need to press ESC to make variables visible and ready for modification.
After pressing ESC inside of dashboard:
Is there any possible way to make variables visible everytime i enter dashboard?
Thank you so much!
if you have to click esc, then the dashboard was in kiosk mode.
see below for a workaround to show variables in kiosk mode:

type/feature-request
not implemented
Release `v5.3` introduced a breaking change making template variables invisible … in Kiosk mode (#13025).
In our setup, we're exposing dashboards through a third party application. In the past, kiosk mode came in handy for this purpose hiding navbars which are needless in this case. However, with the current releases > 5.3, those exposed dashboards are rendered unusable as users are no longer able to change the variables.
Apart from that, as it was already pointed out in #7691, it might be sometimes preferred to have a visual context of the graphs shown in the current view.
That being said, I can understand that the use cases for kiosk mode are diverse and it's difficult to cover them all. But wouldn't it make sense to have another option allowing to set the visibility of variables?
