Custom report token with data from child site

Hi there, I already know the hooks to make custom tokens, but as I want to customize reports with arbitrary data from my child sites, I have the exact same question as planetahuevo here: https://gist.github.com/bogdan-mainwp/95d9b2019c2c3292268097d1f5190f25 Is it possible to get dynamic values for the tokens from the child sites installing another script on the child site that get the info from the database?

Hi @kgps

You can find detailed information in this reply:

[Extension Request] Clients Reports and Pro Client Reports: Report Tokens for iThemes Security

It was for inserting custom data from iThemes Security, but the logic is identical to your request.

Essentially, one part is easy and entails adding a filter to the Dashboard, but the other part requires coding knowledge on your part.
