Hi there! I work for Spoiler Alert, and I’m working on setting up the dashboard embedding.  
I’m struggling a bit getting Drillthroughs to work correctly, and I’m experiencing different issues with v3 and v4 reports.

### v4 Dashboards

When I query the list of Dashboards, I can see which ones have drillthroughs enabled by going through:  
Dashboard.definition.blocks.settings.drillthrough.sources.uname  
and matching this value to the uname of the Dashboard I’m attempting to embed.  
However, when I view the iframe, when I right-click, drillthroughs don’t seem to be working.  
Is there a trick to getting embedded drills to work for v4 dashboards?

### v3 Dashboards

Fortunately, Drillthroughs on v3 Dashboards DO function correctly, but I’m struggling with automating the lookup process. The endpoint [https://secure.holistics.io/api/v2/dashboards](https://secure.holistics.io/api/v2/dashboards) does not return dynamic\_filters, which contain the drillthrough\_enabled property that I need. My hypothesis is that I can use the dynamic\_filter.uname property to match the origin and destination dashboards for drillthroughs, but I don’t want to spam the API loading every single Dashboard individually so that I can inspect the dynamic\_filters property, which the documentation SAYS should be returned with this request.

For the record, getting the v4 Dashboard drills to work is my highest priority.

Bumping this, if we can get someone from holistics can look into this soon, it would be extremely appreciated. We’re trying to go live soon with customer facing canvas dashboards that include drill-throughs, and this is a pretty big blocker.

Hi @jediger, @anya.conti, and @Argo_Ovsepyan,

Apologies for the late response! At the moment, we haven’t supported Drill-through for Embedded Canvas Dashboards, which is why you’re experiencing this issue. We are actively working on adding this feature and will keep you updated on its availability.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

@Theodore Any idea on when this feature will be released? We’re relying on this for switching our embedded reports to Holistics.
