[image] Populate Data Explorer params with URL params Feature It would be great if I could share a Data Explorer query with a group and have the query params be pre-filled with the URL params. For example, if I have this param -- string :username, I should be able to share it with group “my-group” with username “myName”. Something like this: https://mydomain.com/g/my-group/reports/100?username=myName [image] I recently suggested it would be great to allow query parameters in reports. That way, I could share a Data Explorer URL with a default parameter already filled in. Something like this: [image] Would anyone be interested in implementing this feature? If not, does anyone have any pointers that could help me implement it myself?

Thanks for replying, Jay. @sam added #pr-welcome tag, so I thought it didn’t exist. What’s the syntax? I’ve tried /reports/100?username=myName and it doesn’t populate the username text field with myName.

Sorry, I’m conflating reports with the data explorer plugin. You can do that with the data explorer.

I’ve tried /admin/plugins/explorer?id=100&username=myName and that doesn’t fill the textbox either. Am I missing something?

Oh. Sorry. Now I see. That’s the part that I missed. You know how to write the query and use the parameters, but want to change the defaults with a url. And that’s why it’s pr welcome. Sorry about that.

No problem. I should have probably explained it better. :grin: How difficult do you think it would be to implement?

No. I didn’t read. You were clear. I do not know how to do it. But since your asked, My wild guess is that it’s 2 to 4 hours work with proper specs.
