In 8.5 we released the new Labs feature where the user can manually enable tech preview features from within APM UI. One of the requirements was that the user could opt-in to automatically have new experimental features enabled by default.
Why is this blocked?
All tech preview feature toggles live under the Kibana advanced settings and are space-specific. To automatically enable new features we need to update the settings on all spaces the user has available. But kibana doesn't support it, you can only update the settings for the space that is in context. In this issue, we're discussing possible ways to solve this problem https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/139550.
