I don't think it can be done with SimpleXML but I suspect it can happen with JavaScript using the val method. How would I run the search from the search manager, retrieve the results and fill in the Multiselect box?</P> Wed, 17 Jun 2020 23:32:45 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Dev/How-to-set-the-default-value-of-a-multiselect-input-box-to-the/m-p/211045#M2796 coleman07 2020-06-17T23:32:45Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Dev/How-to-set-the-default-value-of-a-multiselect-input-box-to-the/m-p/211046#M2797 <P>The multiselect input can be populated with results from a search by defining the search query in the dynamic results. To use <CODE>*</CODE> as the default, you can add one static option - name=All value=* and set that as the default.</P> <P><A href="http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/6.4.0/Viz/PanelreferenceforSimplifiedXML#input_type_.22multiselect.22">http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/6.4.0/Viz/PanelreferenceforSimplifiedXML#input_type_.22multiselect.22</A></P> Wed, 20 Apr 2016 22:31:22 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Dev/How-to-set-the-default-value-of-a-multiselect-input-box-to-the/m-p/211046#M2797 sundareshr 2016-04-20T22:31:22Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Dev/How-to-set-the-default-value-of-a-multiselect-input-box-to-the/m-p/211047#M2798 <P>I would prefer to not use All and, instead, have all the results appear in the multiselect when the dashboard is displayed.
