Understand why Zendesk default dashboards are read-only and how to clone them for editing.

Why can't I edit the queries in a Zendesk default dashboard?

You can't edit the queries in a Zendesk default dashboard because these dashboards are set to read-only. This is designed to maintain the integrity of the default reports.

To make changes, you need to clone the dashboard, which will allow you to edit and customize the reports. This approach ensures that the original data remains unchanged while giving you the flexibility to adapt the reports to your needs.
