Hi and thanks for the work on making grafonnet better aligned with the development of Grafana!

I have been playing around with the 10.2.0 API and Grafana 10.2.3 and now have the following variable definition:

{ 
  abc:
    var.custom.new('abc', values=['true', 'false', 'limited'])
    + var.custom.generalOptions.withLabel('Abc?')
    + var.custom.generalOptions.withCurrent('false')
    + var.custom.selectionOptions.withMulti(false)
    + var.custom.selectionOptions.withIncludeAll()
}

However, the variable's current value remains "true" despite the withCurrent('false'). How do I influence the variable's current (default) value?

Also, how do I make the default value "All"?

And finally, query type variables do not seem to populate as expected. After uploading a dashboard definition including the use of query variables, I need to manually go and click Run query in the Grafana variable editor UI to populate values.

Here is the output I see when executing that, can you say what you are referring to specifically?

{
   "abc": {
      "current": {
         "selected": false,
         "text": [
            "false"
         ],
         "value": [
            "false"
         ]
      },
      "includeAll": true,
      "label": "Abc?",
      "multi": false,
      "name": "abc",
      "options": [
         {
            "selected": true,
            "text": "true",
            "value": "true"
         },
         {
            "selected": false,
            "text": "false",
            "value": "false"
         },
         {
            "selected": false,
            "text": "limited",
            "value": "limited"
         }
      ],
      "query": "true : true,false : false,limited : limited",
      "type": "custom"
   }
}

Have you run this in Grafana and was that not working as expected, how did it behave?

Also, how do I make the default value "All"?

It looks like that has changed since the inception of the code that supports this. I've made an issue for this: https://github.com/grafana/grafonnet/issues/166

And finally, query type variables do not seem to populate as expected. After uploading a dashboard definition including the use of query variables, I need to manually go and click Run query in the Grafana variable editor UI to populate values.

Can you create a separate issue with examples? We've tried to cover for this in the past so examples might help identify what's causing this.
