Dropdown in a Form

I have a dashboard (form) where I have a dropdown to choose between two different types of "changes" that may have happened in one of our environments. When one of the dropdowns is chosen, a table is populated with results.

The dropdown menu is configured:

<choice value="index=something blah blah blah | table 1 2 3">Config Change</choice>

<choice value="index=another_index blah blah blah | table 7 8 9">Admin Change</choice>

The table portion is configured:

<query>$tok_change$</query>

This all works great. I have a need to eval a field called Name in the Config Change "choice". This Name field will have a value of "A change to the system was made."

The comes in when I add the following to the SPL:
eval Name="A change to the system was made"

I receive the following message:

"Error on line 8: Invalid attribute name"

I figure it has something to do with the quote in the eval statement but I can't make this happen. Any help / guidance is greatly appreciated.

I used " around the eval and it worked.

Hi @bt149,

let me understand:

you use in a panel a search choosed on the drilldown, and then you want to add an eval command to the search, is it correct?

are you using this notation?

<query> $tok_change$ | eval Name="A change to the system was made" </query>

in other words, are you using the pipe before the eval command?

Ciao.

Giuseppe
