Hi,

Is it possible to have a variable scripted field which changes based on Kibana Dashboard selection?

I want a scripted field which changes to true of false based on kibana lens selection on the dashboard.

Hello,  
That is not posible in Kibana. Feel free to add it as an enhancement request to our Github repo.
