date_filter
To add/remove field or rename last 10 years to “All time”

Or to always set the dashboard to display “All time”?

Hi @ErikG,
Sorry, I did not understand, could you please elaborate on your solution.

For me the handling of date fields and also the filter for that fields are often not really helpful.

Sometimes it es better to use a string like “2023-10” instead of the actual date field. So far I dont know how to pick a MONTH, with the date picker.

Hi @abacon ,

I would like to respectfully point out that there appears to be a misunderstanding in the question, which has resulted in an answer that lacks coherence.

I question is whether I can edit the date range tile to change certain things like last N years to ‘All time’.

Hi @nishanth_m

Thank you, it isn’t possible to configure the relative date filters in that way, for your use case, are you able to instead use a “Date & time range” filter with a “Before” Condition? e.g.

I will tag this as a feature request.

Thank you for this alternate solution but my use case requires customization of the relative date filters.
