Hi,

Is there any way to add a data source to the **markdown visualisation used in dashboard**?

I can see that a **canvas markdown element** can be configured with a data source - allowing for dynamic behaviour. However, I'm building a dashboard, but would like similar behaviours (like changing styles based on data) but the **markdown visualisation for dashboards** doesn't appear to support data sources.

Is this the case - it is not possible to configure a data source for **markdown visualisation for dashboards**?

Thanks  
David

@david.preston I've never tested but I think you can this in TSVB.
