Dashboard filters support today filtering on basic properties — properties that are shared across all blueprints wired to the dashboard widgets, like Title, Owning Team, and Identifier. Entity Creation Date and Last Updated are also shared across all blueprints, but aren't currently available as basic property filters.
Adding them would let you apply a single date range across an entire dashboard without per-blueprint filter setup. Time-based filtering is one of the most common dashboard needs and this is a natural extension of existing functionality.
