Hello all! I am using the markdown widget to create a link from one dashboard to another and I have noticed that when I apply a filter to one dashboard and then click on the link to go to another dashboard, the filter does not carry over. Is there a way to set things up so that the filter would carry over or is that not possible right now? Thank you! ---

Seeing as how the filters are stored as part of the URL, unfortunately there isn't a way to get the filters to carry over via a markdown link. However, if you simply open the dashboard via the open dashboard dialog, if you've pinned your filters, they should stick around. ---
