Data Manipulation panel 3.3.0 for Grafana.

Read-only Text Area

This new element type is similar to the previously existing read-only type, but this one allows to display multiple rows of text.

Read-only Text is a new element type.

Link Element

This new element type allows you to add links on your Data Manipulation form. The link text is customizable using the Link Text option. If not specified, link address will be displayed.

The link can be opened in the same or a new tab.

Link is a new element type.

Select Options from Query

Previously all types with Custom options supported only options entered manually during the configuration or set using Custom code. Starting from this release, you can reference a query from any configured data source.

You can specify the Label and Value fields.

Use values from the query for your types with select options.

Data Source for the Reset button

Now you can specify a data source for the Reset Request and set payload.

Data Source is a new option for Reset Request.

Confirmation Window

The Confirmation window, if enabled, is shown after a user clicks the submit button to highlight all changes made in the Data Manipulation form.

Starting from this release, you can customize all labels using the Confirmation Window section.

Customize confirmation window label names.

Autosize Code Editor

Any option containing code (for instance, Custom code, Show if returned value is true) changes its size (number of rows) following the number of code rows in it. The smallest size is 10 rows of code which means the size will not shrink to be less than 10 rows. The size can increase up to 50 rows of code.

Any option with code changes size (number of rows) automatically.

Getting Started

You can install the Data Manipulation Panel from the Grafana Plugins catalog or using the Grafana command line tool.

For the latter, please use the following command:

grafana-cli plugins install volkovlabs-form-panel
