Support custom panel defaults and overrides in new react panels

[ryantxu]

There has been a lot of discussion around how to support standard settings and templates. I think this is part of that solution, not the entire thing.

It would be great to be able to configure how the panel behaves by default across all dashboards. Also having custom versions of the panel options depending on the Field and SeriesData we are looking at. I propose:

1. add a config tab on the panel plugin page that lets you set default options. These options would be stored in something like the datasource jsonData and along with the grafanaBootData
2. add a general way to configure overrides for panel options
3. The panel plugin is passed options that are derived from: plugin default + system defaults + panel config

The config page could look something like this:

This would also require (or at least be better) if the Options UIs are built in a way that could consistently shows you want the default value are and if your values are different.

• placeholder works well for things in text fields
• dropdown using <Select/> has many nice style options that can show this
• not sure how to show it with switch components though :) maybe the color of the selection background and a tooltip?

Perhaps when building the save model, it checks values vs the default and only saves things that are different.

Is this still relevant? If so, what is blocking it? Is there anything you can do to help move it forward?

This issue has been automatically marked as stale because it has not had recent activity. It will be closed if no further activity occurs.
