Changing the date window (filter) while the dashboard is embeded (fullscreen)

Description of the problem including expected versus actual behavior:
When adding a date filter, the filter does not appear like all the other filters (Green ovale with the filter described in it).
For example, here is how a normal filter is added.

For a date filter, we have to click on the button at the top right of the page, and cannot remove the filter as any other filter.

This cause a problem when we display the dashboard fullscreen (embeded), since we do not have access to this button

When the dashboard is embeded, we cannot change anymore the date window.

It is possible to change the date-range using the filter bar. But it requires you to edit the the query manually as Json.

1. add a filter to the filter-bar with the date-field (e.g. using the available fields in
2. click the little pencil icon on that filter
3. a drop down opens, with the raw Json of that filter. Change it to a "range"-query. It is not the
   easiest way to format, since it requires putting the time in milliseconds. I grabbed the correct timestamps by opening the "Request"-tab in the spy tab for a time-range I wanted.

The time-filter bar is an easier to use UI, I agree. But it's purpose is also a little different. It applies to the default time-field of the index-pattern. The filter bar is more generic instead.

Let us know if the methodI outlined works for your purpose.

There's also an existing issue for adding the timepicker to the embedded dashboard #2739
