Description

Feature request

Is your feature request related to a problem?

Users would like more ways to use variables to apply filters to dashboards.

Describe the solution you'd like

For example:

  • Multi-select dropdowns

Describe alternatives you've considered

A custom solution, e.g. inputting a comma separated string - but this is cumbersome and prone to user error.
