Ability to increase the number of recently used Drill-in fields that display when right clicking

[ni-rwhite]

The UI limits the number of recently used drill-in fields to 5. I've attempted to write custom JavaScript to add additional entries to widget.metadata.drillHistory, and verified they are added to the array successfully, however the UI will only show 5 drill-in values.

This is important because our customers need to be able to "slice and dice" data visually and the best way to do that on a single chart is by using drill-ins. We do not want customers to have to "Choose another" because nearly all of these customers are viewers and do not have or need extensive knowledge of the data model.

Having an option to increase this, either as a dashboard JavaScript override, or as a feature in the configuration of the product itself would be very beneficial.

Hi @ni-rwhite,

Disabling "Drill to Anywhere" in the widget menu will remove the "Drill into" or "Choose another" options along with all recent drill columns, so drill history is not relevant here. However, you can predefine a list of drill hierarchies in the data model and add them to the widget. This way, users will only be able to drill into the columns you have preselected for them. There is no limit to the number of predefined drill hierarchies you can add. See screenshot below for reference.

For more information about drill hierarchies, please refer to our documentation: Managing Drill Hierarchies.

Let me know if I understood your question correctly or if you have any follow-up questions.
