Hi!
I´ve created a Legacy Metric lens that should display the Trend (in percent CO2) compared to a baseyear of 2019. But it always defaults to display the trend compared to previous year.
I´ve created a small video here about the error.
This is my code:
When I edit the lens and changes the global time, it works perfectly and shows the correct numbers compared to 2019:
But when the lens is saved to the dashboard, it instead shows the numbers compared to prevoius year instead which is wrong:
This seems to be a bug. Anyone knows what to do?

Import the following Dashboard and Data view: [export.zip](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/files/12107932/export.zip)
Additionally you can also configure these customer ranges for the date picker:

It has three panels that present the elements of a fourth panel with a ratio.
The main panel on the right has all the elements of this "formula" as follows:
```
(average(metric) - average(metric, shift='startAt(2018-12-31T23:00:00.000Z)'))
/
(average(metric, shift='startAt(2018-12-31T23:00:00.000Z)'))
```
So when filtering 2023 (average 50), the ratio is a growth of 400%, when filtering 2022, it should be 300%, and so on.
This works well inside the Lens editor, but on the Dashboard is not working correctly.
**Expected behavior:**
Correct results in Dashboard.
