Currently, the SDG panel require a template variable "aggregationType" which is used for determining the source and target columns. This requirement can be quite confusing for users when setting up the panel. Especially, if the user's data does not provide multiple aggregation levels, this option doesn't provide added value.
It would be easier and less complex when removing the need for the template variable and change the "prefix" option so that a user does not have to specify the prefix for e.g. the target column, but directly the full name of it. In addition, this option should be able to resolve template variable. Doing this, the same functionallity could be achieved as before.
Current behavior:
User has to specify a template variable "aggregationType"
User has to specify a prefix for a column
The service graph internally creates the column name for connection mapping by doing the following: <prefix> + <tempalte variable>
Proposed behavior
User has to specify the column name directly
Users could specify directly <column_name> or <prefix> + $customVariable
