Hello,

I used [URL formatting](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/custom-links.html) option on some of my index pattern fields. These URLs basically redirect me to a different dedicated dashboard when clicked.

The dashboard redirection is working very well where the clicked value is applied as a filter on my redirected dashboard, but what I would like to achieve is also automatically apply the current dashboard's **time filters** on the redirected dashboards. Can I please know how this can be achieved?

PS:  
Why I cant use Kibana Drilldown:  
1.In my main dashboard I would like to use only a saved search and unfortunately saved search doesn't have drilldown option.  
2. I want my different fields to redirect to different dashboards which is not possible with a single drilldown..

Hi  
I do understand your use case, but sadly there's no way to inject global filter values into a formatted link. There's an enhancement request, would that cover your use case? [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/77087](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/77087)  
You could add your use case there.  
Best,  
Matthias
