Hi everyone, I'm trying to add a dashboard-level date filter to SQL-based cards in Metabase. My event_time column is stored as a Unix timestamp in milliseconds, and I'm converting it using: to_timestamp(event_time / 1000.0) I created date variables in my SQL query, but when I try to connect a dashboard Date filter, I get: "A date variable in this card can only be connected to a time type with the single date option." What's the recommended way to make dashboard date filters work with Unix timest
