Hi! I want to make a canvas pad with much lens visualisation. There is globaltimefilter to set the date an time for all lens. If i set a date and time the lens visualtion doesn't scale the time axis

 ![axis1](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/a/5/a5183f43d508f83a01b0f8cc268d1bdfca6291b6.png)  
The code for the lens embedding in canvas is :  
kibana  
| selectFilter group="globaltimefilter"  
| embeddable  
config="...." type="lens"

| render

If i choose a smaller timerange from the visu, the visu only will show the selected timerange.

Is it possible that the lens time axis scale automatic to the settings from the globaltimefilter?

Edit: I use the version 8.6.1

Hi @deepack86. Unfortunately, Canvas filters simply don't work well with embeddables. This is a known limitation for which we do not have a workaround. Dashboard will provide the best experience with charts from Lens.

Have you seen already this answer? [Dropdown in canvas does not filter visualization from 'Add from Kibana" - #2 by Marco\_Liberati](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/dropdown-in-canvas-does-not-filter-visualization-from-add-from-kibana/284631/2)
