mail2lawi opened a new issue #17233: URL: https://github.com/apache/superset/issues/17233
**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.** No **Describe the solution you'd like** A feature that allows one to incorporate dynamic data into headers and other freetext components. For instance, a header that says "Number of responses received as at **_7:12:34 am, Oct 26 2021_**" The data value, in the example above the timestamp, can be added as a variable. That way every time the dashboard is refreshed, manually or otherwise, the value is updated. **Describe alternatives you've considered** I tried to achieve the functionality using `Big Number` visualization type and customised my display text and format in the Date Format option: `Status as at %I:%M %p, %d %b %Y` I then added the chart to the dashboard but there was an obvious challenge: The text size resizes when the chart is resized and positioned on the dashboard resulting in very small text - unsuitable for a header. Refer the screenshot below. The first line is from the Big Number chart as described above. The second, bigger line is the manually typed/static header. The second challenge is that as far as I can tell Superset doesn't allow removing a chart title (derived from the name of the chart). In this example I used 3 dashes as a workaround since Superset wouldn't allow setting it to blank. **Additional context**  -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
