Dashboards & Visualizations

Latest time in time picker only allows 'now'

I am trying to create a dashboard for users that need to be able to set a time/date range manually. But in the time picker that is created by default in the dashboard, the latest_time is always 'now'. The only way around this is to use the presets or the advanced options, but I can't expect users to work out the necessary times in the advanced. 

I've tried looking through the documentation and forums, but not finding anything yet that indicates how to get around this. Anyone have a way to get around this?

Hi @damickel ,

There is an option to set the time range manually if you change the status from Since to between in the time range pickker.

Thanks! I think I was looking to hard and missed the obvious. Is there any way to set 'Between' as the default behavior? It seems like it is that way outside of Dashboards.
