dashboard with multiple dropdown menus not working

rodneymckee — Fri, 15 Nov 2019 05:54:31 GMT

I have created a simple dashboard with 2 dropdown menus. Selecting an item from the second menu appears to work with no results being provided. If I open the question in search, the parameter is corrupt. Rather than "text" it appears in search as "t e x t". No idea where these spaces are coming from.

Hi @rodneymckee,
did you already tried to delete and re-create the dropdown?
Then, check if there's some special char (e.g. tab) in the source.

Yeah, been over it a number of times.
Also noticed some odd behavior with the second dropdown appearing empty. Possibly with having the 2 dropdowns using the same Static option names. Worked around it by changing the names to different values.
My issue now it with these spaces appearing in the parameters and I'm at a loss why it's happening.
