In visualization editor, add ability to change linked save search

[Ralnoc]

Currently when you edit a visualization, you have the ability to unlink from a saved search. It would be extremely helpful if we were able to instead be able to change which saved search the visualization is linked to or link to a new saved search should the visualization not be linked to one.

This would indeed be very helpful for situations where you are setting up the same visualizations for different projects where the only difference is the saved discover search. I have been spending quite a lot of time recreating the same visualizations.

This is possible if we go to Settings > Objects > Visualizations. If we edit the required visualization and replace the search ID with updated search and save the visualization object. (I found the search ID is hyphenated word if saved search consists of white spaces in the name.)

Please note, as Kibana UI also warns, modifying visualization object directly could affect the visualization. So, this should be considered as a workaround unless this option is available directly through visualization editor.

I've updated the title to more accurately reflect the desired feature. Being able to edit the object does allow you to do this, but is definitely not the best means of handling this.

I just unlinked a visualisation from a search. I saw that I could "unlink" it, so I though I'd do that to link it to another (updated) search.

But now that it's unlinked, I don't find an option to link it to an existing search.

Seeing this ticket, I am guessint this is not possible? Or is it?

Without this, I have to reinvent the wheel for so many visualizations. Sad.

With 7.10 Lens has left its beta state and is now GA. Going forward Lens is the recommended way in Kibana to create visualizations, with more chart types, data processing and integrations planned in the future (see our Kibana Lens GA blog post and this Lens meta issue). Since we want to focus our priorities on building those capabilities, we've decided to not implement this feature in Visualize. To keep our issues at a manageable amount and reflect our current state of planning, we'll be closing this issue.

As Lens is not available in the Open Source subscription (it's only available in the non-open source Basic subscription and above), this is disappointing.

[fbaligand]

This is also very frustrating to not have consistent features between the different visualizations.
There are features that are specific. But this one is clearly a generic visualization feature.

BTW, Lens is very easy to use, but does not provide all « classic » visualizations settings.
So Lens is not a complete replacement for every use case.
