How do you display the Name of a value from a drop down filter list?

jason_hotchkiss — Fri, 03 May 2024 17:04:19 GMT

I would like to display the Name of a drop down option in the label of a panel. The token for the drop down filter is $value$. How would I display the Name, such as MY VALUE 1, MY VALUE 2, etc. as a token? I tried label.$value$ and that did not work for me.

Hi @jason_hotchkiss,

instead using static values, you could use a search like the following:

in this way, you can use the field "my_field" as the values in the token.

I ended up taking the suggestion I received on the slack channels of using the <change> block and setting a token.

<panel> <title>Top 25 by $label$</title> <input type="dropdown" token="split_by" searchWhenChanged="true"> <label>Split by</label> <change> <condition value="value1"> <set token="label">MY VALUE 1</set> </condition> <condition value="value2"> <set token="label">MY VALUE 2</set> </condition> <condition value="value3"> <set token="label">MY VALUE 3</set> </condition> </change> <choice value="value1">MY VALUE 1</choice> <choice value="value2">MY VALUE 2</choice> <choice value="value3">MY VALUE 3</choice> <default>value1</default> <initialValue>value1</initialValue> <fieldForLabel>split_by</fieldForLabel> <fieldForValue>split_by</fieldForValue> </input> <chart> <search> <query></query> </search> </chart> </panel>
