Re: [D] Can I hide the "Waiting on [data source]" message when refreshing dashboard? [superset]
GitHub user dosubot[bot] edited a comment on the discussion: Can I hide the "Waiting on [data source]" message when refreshing dashboard?

Hi @tomasvotava! I'm [Dosu](https://go.dosu.dev/dosubot) and I’m helping the superset team.

There isn't a built-in way in Superset to keep outdated charts visible while new data loads—the "Waiting on [data source]" overlay is hard-coded and shown whenever a chart is refreshing, controlled by the chartStatus property in the frontend code. There are no configuration options or dashboard settings to disable or customize this overlay, so changing this behavior would require modifying the frontend source code directly [source](https://github.com/apache/superset/blob/cd3191bb79e13eb7098f3ab36b37d53da05b4fa5/superset-frontend/src/components/Chart/Chart.tsx).
Some users have had success hiding certain UI elements with custom CSS, but there’s no direct evidence that this can selectively keep the old chart visible while hiding only the overlay during refresh. If you want to experiment, you could try targeting the overlay’s CSS class (e.g., `.chart-container .loading` or similar) in your dashboard’s custom CSS settings, but this is a hack and may have side effects or break with future updates [discussion](https://github.com/apache/superset/discussions/31456).
For a robust solution, you’d need to customize the chart rendering logic in the frontend to skip the overlay and keep the previous chart visible during refresh. This isn’t supported out-of-the-box.
