Can I use the same input dropdowns in a different dashboard?

Hello, I have a dashboard with a couple of input dropdowns. Can I use the same input dropdowns in a different dashboard? The first dashboard input dropdowns should change the second dashboard input dropdowns.

Thank you

Sure. Just copy the code from one dashboard to the other.

One dashboard cannot control another, except perhaps via some JavaScript (just guessing, I don't know JS well enough to say for sure).

I meant can one dashboard dropdown inputs change another dashboard's dropdown inputs ?

As I wrote in the second part of my answer, one dashboard can't influence another with the possible exception of some JavaScript magic. Also, one dashboard can drill down to another and pass parameters that modify the inputs, but I suspect that's not what you have in mind.

Yes I want exactly the same. Pass the parameters from first dashboard to second dashbord which modify the inputs in the second dashboard.

To do that, the source dashboard must call the target dashboard and pass the tokens the target dashboard expects.

See https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/latest/Viz/DrilldownIntro for a description of how drilldowns work and how to set up a drilldown in a dashboard.

This document, https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/latest/Viz/DrilldownLinkToDashboard, describes how to link one dashboard to another and pass parameters.
