I have a discover session that I am trying share, I have the time picker set to a relative option (1 hour), yet when I try and share the view, it’s saying it will share it using the current time (it’s specifying the start and end time) and says to to use a relative time range in the picker first. Anyone know how to resolve this. Oh, I’m using v9.2.3. If I then follow the link it will view the session with the specified start and end time, not the 1 hour relative timeframe.

Hi @mcdaidh

This is a known bug and it was fixed. The fix was backported to 9.2.4 and 8.19.10

> <https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/248804>
>
> Closes https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/246977
> 
> \## Summary
> 
> \- This P…R fixes 3 issues in share modal:
> 1. Relative to absolute time range toggle never showing up
> 2. Callout to use a relative time range always showing up
> 3. Anywhere but dashboards: short URL generated not honoring the time range indicator selected (always shared as absolute)
> \- Added test cases to avoid this from happening in the future
> 
> \### Testing
> 
> Manually tested both in Discover and Dashboards that all UI elements are shown as expected and the following use cases:
> \- Set a rel time range, copy URL, verify object is shared with relative time range
> \- Set a rel time range, toggle to abs, copy URL, verify object is shared with absolute time range
> \- Set an abs time range, copy URL, verify object is shared with absolute time range
> \- Set a mixed rel and abs time range, copy URL, verify object is shared with mixed relative and absolute time range 
> \- Set a mixed rel and abs time range, copy URL, toggle to abs, verify object is shared with absolute time range 
> 
> Discover with rel time range selected:
