Global organization variables do not translate to a value in queries

[josemoreno]

What happened:
When using $__org or $__org.name in the queries to Prometheus, neither the organization ID nor the organization name appears in the query.

Query:

Query inspector:

Prometheus log:

As it can be seen, the variable $__org.name is never substituted by the organization name and arrives as $__org.name to Prometheus. It is also happening with $__org variable. No matter if I use curly braces (${__org.name}), I don't get the value in Prometheus. Besides, it is also happening when trying to define a new dashboard variable using one of the organization variables.

What you expected to happen:
Get the organization name in the query, instead of the name of the variable

How to reproduce it (as minimally and precisely as possible):
Use $__org or $__org.name in a query

Anything else we need to know?:
Might be related to #23841

Environment:

• Grafana version: v6.7.3 (a04ef6c)
• Data source type & version: Prometheus 2.16.0
• OS Grafana is installed on: Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS
• User OS & Browser: Windows server 2012, Chrome
• Grafana plugins: None

Thanks!!

@josemoreno thank you for reporting. To get the organization name you have to use ${__org.name} while you used it without curly braces. I'll leave there a link to the docs: https://grafana.com/docs/grafana/latest/variables/global-variables/#global-variables so you can read more about it (though I am sure you already did!).
As for the problem with variables evaluation itself, it seems to be the same issue as described in #23841, so I'll close this one and then follow up in that issue.
