Bug where Data Mapping on new Dashboards App defaults back to all

In the new dashboards app when doing a multi metric query as below

then you select the data mapping to be the value of "C"

then auto defaults back to all

whenever the dashboard refreshes or the timeframe changes.

This is not ideal for dashboarding in control room/centre scenarios.

The workaround is to copy the DQL then do a fieldsRemove on the fields you want removed. For example at the very bottom of the DQL add:
| fieldsRemove `avg(dt.kubernetes.container.cpu_usage)`, `avg(dt.kubernetes.container.limits_cpu)`

The workaround is fine for technical people familiar with Dynatrace but for devs just wanting a quick dashboard it's not ideal.

Hello @Scott_McMahon,

I just got confirmation from our developers that this is a known issue and will be fixed in v310, which is coming soon.
