Thank you @ThomThomson for the fix, the bug is critical and make the filters within embedded dashboard unused 👍

My I ask if you know when the fix will be published ?

[ThomThomson]

@yassine-ah, this fix will be released with 7.12.1, which we are targeting so far for April 20th.

Is the 7.12.1 release date still planned for sometime today? Thanks.

[ThomThomson]

@ldefranco3434, unfortunately the release of 7.12.1 has been delayed. It's now looking to be closer to the end of April. Apologies for the delay.

Is there anything we can implement in our deployment to fix these issues with the current version?

On the edge of my seat 👀

@ThomThomson , thank you for the fix, I confirm that most of the issue with dashboard within iFrame were fixed but a problem still exist when using short URLs.

When I compare between the url generated after sharing the dashboard without activating the short url, I get a panels:!((...)) section that is missing from short url redirect.

I think this is the cause why I get the errors below:

I am available if you want me to test something or provide you with more information, do you want me to create a separated issue ?

Thanks

[ThomThomson]

Hi @yassine-ah, this seems like a separate problem, and would warrant another issue if you wouldn't mind creating one. I will try to recreate this problem.

@ThomThomson Migrating to 7.14.0 I've discovered a problem that seems related to this issue.
Our solution embeds inside an IFrame some shared Kibana dashboards.
Externally to IFrame we give to user's application the possibility to change the timeframe and also some query criteria inside IFrame shared Dashboard.
We have always do this renavigating on IFrame changing on url global section (_g) the timeframe, and on application section (_a) the query criteria (...query:(language:kuery,query:'....') ).
From Kibana 7.14.0 the _a section seems not reusable for updating the applied query inside dashboard: it works only on first navigation, not in the following. Change on timeframe (inside _g section of url) instead continues to works correctly.

The different behavior of 7.14.0 can be see trying to navigate on shared IFrame link with some "query" criteria in url. Once the navigation is completed the "_a" section containing the "query" disappears from url (it mantains only the "_g" section).

Exported Visualization, instead, works correctly on 7.14.0. We can update the "query" filter on url whenever we want because the "_a" section is mantained. Same behavior, after all, of shared dashboard links in previous releases.

Actually we cannot update to 7.14.0 our solution for this problem
