Custom variable support in visualization actions

We’re excited to announce that you can now define custom variables within visualization actions. When you trigger an action (such as an API request), you’ll be prompted to provide input for those variables. This makes actions more dynamic and interactive, allowing you to tailor requests in real time without modifying the dashboard configuration.

This feature is especially useful when actions require user-supplied input upon being triggered. For example, it enables scenarios like setting a thermostat to a specific temperature or entering a problem description when creating a support ticket.
