I've couple of dashboards in my kibana space. For both the dashboards, using controls [optionlist], created a filter using one field in my index. Also using links, formed horizontal menu / tabs to navigate between one another What we observed is the values selected in my first dashboard is not reflecting in second dashboard controls ---

Hi @phani_kumar, Welcome! Which version of Kibana are you using? Which type of controls are you seeing that the filter is not being applied? It would be good to see if you have applied particular filters on the controls, or set a custom time range. It's possible a filter is conflicting with the dashboard filter. Let us know! ---

I don't think you can move the controls below the header as they have to be in the green zone: ![Screenshot 2025-01-29 at 11.05.10](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/c/3/c30b9fdb2f6f901844d54b7e850624dbc322dc25.png) You would need to either have the controls above as you have at the moment, or alternatively embed the dashboard in a JavaScript/ HTML app with the title above the dashboard iframe. Hope that helps! ---

So, you mean that feature of moving controls to any place in dashboard is removed? ---

Not exactly @mittal_rawal1. Having spun up a test 8.8 deployment to play with, I believe you have been using the input controls which were marked for deprecation in 8.3.0 and the ability hidden in 8.9.0: ![Screenshot 2025-03-31 at 09.43.09](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/a/b/abd3c46cac0f7a17e9666fbb0ff745e1298db4e7.png) If you check out the below GitHub issues and release notes you'll see the changes: [Deprecation warning](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/132562) [Hide ability to create](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/156455) [Release notes](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/8.3/release-notes-8.3.0.html#breaking-changes-8.3.0) I can see the following options for you: 1. Use the new controls which will place above the markdown/ text element where your header is. 2. Embed the dashboard in a JavaScript app where you can use custom controls and headings. 3. Create selection controls using Vega (as per [this example](https://vega.github.io/vega-lite/docs/selection.html)) that you can use to update the dashboard and place anywhere in the dashboard. Hope that helps!
