Difficulty managing and persisting dashboard time range settings
Users are struggling to save custom time range defaults and maintain their selection when switching between dashboards. There is also a significant need to pass the selected time range into variables for use in queries, which currently appears limited or broken.

The dashboard defaults to 6 hours when I open my dashboard, i have tried to change and save the dashboard, but it still defaults to 6 hours every time.
every time a user switches from one dashboard to the other, the time range selection, and templates values - reset to default.
Is there any way i can get the time range we selected on the dashboard into a variable, so that i can use the same in my query.
The variable just sticks to 1d even I select Last 48 hours.
it is not possible to activate auto-refresh for this constellation via the dropdown.
