I have several disparate containers doing data collection with both logstash and filebeat. Each of these has their own set of visualizations and dashboards. I have created a dashboard that has icons/links to the "overview" dashboard for each. However, once in the respective dashboard, I would like to have the "Home" link (upper left hand corner of nav bar) go back to the dashboard that I have built with the icons/links.

I have changed both  
`/usr/share/kibana/src/core/target/public/core.entry.js`  
and  
`/usr/share/kibana/src/core/public/chrome/chrome_service.js`  
with the appropriate link (replacing` /app/kibana#/home` with my link of `/app/kibana#/dashboard/3548db90-cc62-11ea-918e-c778f7abe5d7`) and deleted the optimize contents and restarted (container) but it still points to `/app/kibana#/home` when it comes back up.

I saw there was a [similar question](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/kibana-ui-change-the-link-kibana-home/153224) from 2018 on here but they wanted to change it via an Advanced Setting and the answer was "file an enhancement" I don't believe that has been done - maybe it has and I just can't find it?

TIA

Hi @sdndude

There is an [open issue](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/71550) regarding custom home route improvements and explains how it works today.
