Tokens not setting in hyperlink

ChrisCLewis — Thu, 27 Feb 2020 12:00:57 GMT

I am trying to set a token when someone uses a hyperlink in a dashboard, in theory using the details below as part of the href should work but it is not, does anyone have any thoughts on how to get it to work?

data-set-token="token" data-value="new token value"

I am on version 7.3.

Many thanks for your time.

<drilldown>
 <set token="a_link">$click.value2$</set>
 <eval token="url">mvindex(split($a_link$,"/"),2)</eval>
<link target="_blank">
 <![CDATA[ https://$url$ ]]></link>
</drilldown>

like that.

Hi there,
Many thanks for a speedy reply.

We need to have a html panel (don't ask 😉 ) giving some information to dashboard visitors with links as part of the information, so drill downs are not an option.

panel > html
1st sentence for visitors - LINK1a LINK1b
2nd sentence for visitors - LINK2
3rd sentence for visitors - LINK3
html > panel

<p>2nd sentence<a href="https://$url2|u$">$url2$</a></p>
<p>3rd sentence<a href="https://$url3|u$">$url3$</a></p>

The main issue, it is that the methods for setting tokens does not appear to be working (the links is not the problem):
data-set-token="token1"
data-value="new token value"

Is not passing updated token value to token1
