Unable to repeat panels or rows using hidden variables
Users are struggling to repeat dashboard panels or rows based on variables that are set to hidden. The current implementation is described as counter-intuitive, as there is no straightforward way to have a hidden variable emit values for repetition without user control.

I’m trying to get a panel to repeat for every value of a variable but I don’t want the user to be able to have control over this variable (i.e. it should be hidden).
The question is how I can then use this hidden variable to repeat a row or panel.
Why is there no proper way to define a hidden variable that just “emits” all it’s values for repetition?
