Using Global Variables inside Fields with JSONata

[LRagji]

Repro:

1. Use a simple stats widget,
2. Select datasource as JSONAPI
3. Rhen add this code in field $__from and you can see the time in milliseconds,
4. Change to this $fromMillis($__from) and the data disappears?

are global variables not supported as function param or am i missing escape character?

I have a similar issue. I try to use my configured dashboard variable. It shows a correct value when I put it in a field alone. However, it does not work when I try to use it in a JSONATA expression.
I read in the documentation that the dashboard variables are always arrays and because of that it should be used with [] - $myvariable[0]. Unfortunately, then it is not possible to use such a variable in a repeatable raw for Grafana. Or is there any way to do this?

hi, jsonata expressions were severely limited starting with plugin version v1.3.5 (see https://github.com/grafana/grafana-json-datasource/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md#v135---2023-04-05 for details). to be sure this problem is still actual, can you please try with the curent plugin version, is the problem still there? thanks!
