How to use custom react visualization in Dashboard Studio?

Hello,

I am currently using the new splunk JSON & React framework to create dashboards and use custom visualizations. https://splunkui.splunk.com/Packages/dashboard-docs/

However, one big issue I have is that I cannot create dashboards using dashboard studio and include custom visualizations. Only the default splunk visualizations will show up in the toolbar when adding

Is there a way to include custom visualizations in dashboard studio? This would be really useful and make it easier to create & maintain dashboards without needing go into a react app for changes

Also what do these props mean? 

/**
* visualization can be added through the toolbar
*/
CustomViz.includeInToolbar = true;

/**
* can switch to this visualization through the editor viz switcher
*/
CustomViz.includeInVizSwitcher = true;

 

I did not notice any change of behavior by setting them to true and was not able to do any editing.

Thanks,

Lohit

You can not use React JS in dashboard studio.

For using React JS at the time of building your dashboards, you should install SPLUNK UI.

I also believe that in Classic Dashboard Editor you won't be able to use customized code. In this option you can customize your dashboards through editing the XML files (they act as CSS).
