Dashboard Filters (Showing Description) but selecting the id value for use query parameters

[Deenar]

Hi

Is there a way to have a Single or multiple filter in a Dashboard that shows titles/names but on selection passes in the identifier as query parameter filters. The cost management dashboard shipped by Databricks seems to do this for the workspace selector, but I cant find anything in the documentation .

The workspace selector uses a single value with the id prefixed by : and uses one of the two formats

1) WorkspaceName (id:xxxx)

2) id:xxxx - where no workspace name is found

This seems to work magically, but I cant find any reference in documentation

Hi

For those interested in the same. After digging into the Databricks cost dashboards code, I found out that this feature isn't supported yet. The Databricks dashboards use a hack to get around this by having a lookup table in each dataset definition to translate the text back to an identifier.
