Hi,
I made a custom Looker Studio Connector that pulls from some internal metrics. Even when I return the getSchema() data as follows (see below) looker seems to pull in everything as a dimension.
I’m wondering:
- Is this a problem?
- Is this connected to my other problem that when trying to view the data I get an meaningless error (see following screenshot) and my
getData()method is never called? Does looker skip calling getData() if there are no metrics defined?
