Can tokens be used in dashboard fieldset?

simpkins1958 — Thu, 20 Oct 2016 18:27:09 GMT

I would like to use tokens in dashboard fieldset. This XML code below is not working. The two tokens have been defined in JavaScript and are available in other components of the dashboard, just not the fieldset.

  <fieldset submitButton="false">
    <input type="time" searchWhenChanged="true">
      <label>Time: from view in app</label>
      <default>
        <earliest>$default_earliest$</earliest>
        <latest>$default_latest$</latest>
      </default>
    </input>
  </fieldset>

is earliest misspelled? You have it $default_earlist$ instead of $default_earliest$
if that isn't it, I'll keep noodling.

Fixed typo, and still not working. The token substitution happens in the HTML section fine.

Here is the url that is created by Splunk when navigating to the dashboard:

http://XXXXXXX-01:8000/en-US/app/dazzler/system_summary?earliest=%24default_earliest%24&latest=%24default_latest%24

  <fieldset submitButton="false">
    <input type="time" searchWhenChanged="true">
      <label>Time: from view in app</label>
      <default>
        <earliest>$default_earliest$</earliest>
        <latest>$default_latest$</latest>
      </default>
    </input>
  </fieldset> 
  <row>
    <html>
        <b>Test: $default_earliest$ - $default_latest$ </b>
    </html>  
  </row>

it doesn't say latest= in the url

Not sure if that's why?

http://XXXXXXX-01:8000/en-US/app/dazzler/system_summary?earliest=%24default_earliest%24&latest=%24default_latest%24

It actually does, I must not have pasted it in correctly.

:8000/en-US/app/dazzler/system_summary?earliest=%24default_earliest%24&latest=%24default_latest%24

this should not be so complicated. they have a doc on this.

Maybe you need to put the link in CDATA?

I tried more times to pass a token as a default to Time Inputs, I think that it isn't possible now!
Sorry.
