Hi everyone,

I’ve published an open-source Kibana plugin that allows you to build **custom, configurable forms** as Kibana Visualizations and use them inside your Dashboards so you can basically trigger actions directly from inside a dashboard.

It is available starting from Kibana version 9.1.5 and above.

I wrote a **[short article](https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:ugcPost:7403167611175190528/)** where you can find a bit more context.

Code is available **[here](https://github.com/fabiopipitone/customizable_form)** and getting started is **[here](https://github.com/fabiopipitone/customizable_form?tab=readme-ov-file#install-on-kibana)**.

Personally, I’ve already used this plugin in at least three different projects for three different clients. I’m curious to hear if you’ve also run into similar use cases in your experience and had to reluctantly conclude that “it couldn’t be done” (yet). This would help me understand if it’s worth maintaining the plugin or if it’s something the world is not ready for 😆

**Any feedback is highly appreciated** (positive, negative, bugs, missing features, etc.).

Thanks in advance to anyone who takes a look.
