<!-- Greeting --> Hi @Amen-Zelealem! I'm [Dosu](https://go.dosu.dev/dosubot) and I’m helping the superset team. <!-- Answer --> That's correct—due to a known limitation in Superset's API, metrics can't be programmatically populated in the METRIC field when creating charts. Manual drag-and-drop in the UI is required, even if metrics are included in the API payload. This behavior is confirmed in several issues and discussions, and is caused by the fact that the query context (which includes metrics) is generated by frontend logic when the chart is loaded, not by the backend or API alone ([issue #32966](https://github.com/apache/superset/issues/32966), [discussion #34750](https://github.com/apache/superset/discussions/34750), [discussion #33574](https://github.com/apache/superset/discussions/33574)). Some users have tried workarounds like sending a PUT request to update the chart or dashboard after creation, using browser automation to trigger the frontend logic, or writing custom backend jobs, but none of these guarantee automatic metric field population in the UI. If you want more technical details or code references for these workarounds, let me know! <!-- Dosu Comment Footer --> *To reply, just mention [@dosu](https://go.dosu.dev/dosubot).* --- <sup>How did I do?
