Can a value from a Application global variable be reached from within a dashboard?

Hey @Lars_Andersson,

Is there something you’re hoping to do? Could you give me a little more context as to what you would use a context variable value for in a Dashboard block? Have you tried to access a global somewhere with `{{globals.myVariable}}`?

Any information around the context of what you’re hoping to achieve or what you’re hoping to do will be a huge help!

Thank you,  
Heath

I ended up using the {{globals.myVariable}} in a page to set a ctx variable.  
For some reason I though there was a way to access the global variable in a more direct way.
