"Repeat for" rows in a dashboard are not working

Describe the issue I've been using this plugin for a while and it's really handy. Thank you for the work done. I have a new report that contains sections that repeat according to technology (based on the variable soft_techno which is an array of values). Within each section I have several panels that I want to export as an image. When I have one technology selected is working, but when I have more than one, I have an error :

• For the first section I have an error: " FATAL --: undefined method `[]' for nil:NilClass"
• For the following sections, I get errors that it cannot find the panels: "GrafanaError: The specified panel id '41' does not exist on the dashboard 'JAUih-d7z'. (Grafana::PanelDoesNotExistError)"

I have seen that in the logs we can see the request : "http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:3000/render/d-solo/JAUih-d7z?panelId=36&fullscreen=true&theme=light&timeout=60&var-date_selected=2023-02-18&var-soft_techno=%5B%22MariaDB%22%2C+%22MSSQL%22%5D&var-count_soft_techno=2&var-template=Obsolescence.adoc&height=150&width=400&from=1677772968000&to=1677859367000" which is not working In grafana, in order to have the image exported, the request to use is : "http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:3000/render/d-solo/JAUih-d7z?panelId=36&fullscreen=true&theme=light&timeout=60&var-date_selected=2023-02-18&var-soft_techno=MariaDB&var-soft_techno=MSSQL&var-count_soft_techno=2&var-template=Obsolescence.adoc&height=150&width=400&from=1677772968000&to=1677859367000" Hope that can help.

Thanks for your feedback and for using the reporter.

It is correct, that "Repeat for" is not properly supported today. Anyway, there is a workaround, that might be ok for you to try out:

grafana_panel_image::36[dashboard="JAUih-d7z",date_selected="2023-02-18",soft_techno="MariaDB",count_soft_techno="2"]

Depending on the variables specified, you can walk through the desired exports in your template. Please try it out and let me know the results.
