Dynamic Document Display in Dashboards
complete
E
Eamon Mason
Feature Overview: Enable dashboards to display dynamic markdown content that updates automatically, such as release notes or documentation, sourced from external repositories or APIs, rather than requiring manual updates to the markdown widget.
Current Limitation: The existing dashboard markdown widget is static and must be updated directly; it cannot pull dynamic content from external sources or entities. Only entity-based documentation supports dynamic markdown.
User Need: Teams require automated, up-to-date release notes and documentation to be visible on dashboard homepages, reducing manual effort and ensuring information accuracy.
Proposed Solution: Implement a feature allowing the dashboard markdown widget to reference and display dynamic content from a specified source (e.g., a GitHub repo or API endpoint), similar to how entity documentation works.
Potential Impact: Streamlines release communication, improves transparency, and supports automation in CI/CD workflows by surfacing relevant, current information directly in dashboards.

You can now link a Markdown widget to a specific Markdown property.
If the widget is placed on an entity page, you can select which Markdown property to display. And if the widget is added to a dashboard page, you can also configure the blueprint, the entity, and the Markdown property.
