As stated in the title, I use a TSDB datasource which splits stats if you select “All” as it pipes them all together as a composite. That’s not a desirable default value. The default value should be not to use the filter, as it is with TSDB’s UI. I tried using a space, the word null, open and closed…

When using "Custom" template vars, there is no "none" option choosable

I am not sure if it is exactly what you want, but I managed to change the ALL option into a NONE (in a hacky way)
