Centralize storage of query?

[gladed]

Right now the user experience is confusing between stringquery and histogram (and other panels as well).

If you alter the stringquery, it changes the histogram (good). If you edit the histogram to have nice labels for everything, then update the stringquery again, you lose all the nice labels (bad). This kind of thing happens all the time when I'm designing dashboards and there's no way to recover the lost work.

I think this happens because internally there's no central place to store the query. Each panel tries to adapt to changes that the other panels fire off, but then stores its own private copy. So when another panel makes a change and fires a "query" message, everyone else's metadata gets blown away.

Could there be a SINGLE place to store the query array for a given group which all panels can reach?

Hi,

If I understand your problem, You can create a new group for each group of panel which you want to modify with the same query. When you edit your panel you have to change the groupe of your panel to regroup this one with others. And you create a stringquery with this group.

Hi,

Please see the comment I made here : #163 (comment)
As hraff has mentionned, you can also put panels you want untouched un another group than the stringquery.

I guess that's the right thing to do ... put them all in separate groups.
If I group anything with a histogram that has labels assigned to its
queries, its at risk of losing them if I change the query in any other
panels in the same group. I guess this is as-designed then?

Currently designed this way. Working on a refactor that should address this

milestone pre3 has a query service that coordinates all of the queries on the dashboard
