Hi there,  
I noticed that in the dashboard the time filter doesn’t work on the created\_at/updated\_at of the data table.  
Example below

What would be a way to filter by created\_at or updated\_at ?  
Do I have to create a user experience maybe?  
It would nice to have a filter component that can decide which timestamp column types to filter on.

In the configuration of the Data Table block, what query are you using to filter the data?

but is there a context variable for the selected time range from the top menu bar **(As of Now)**?
