Set/Reset token by a search finishing in Dashboard Studio

Is there an option in Dashboard Studio to set/reset a token that was previously set by a "Click Event" to a new value when a specific search in the Dashboard has finished running?

Just to clarify:

I know that I can access tokens from the search with $search name:result.<field>$ or other tokens like $search name:job.done$.
What I would need is to set a token when a search is done

Example:

Token "tok_example" has the default value 0
With the click on a button (click event) in the dashboard the token "tok_example" is set to value 1
This (the value 1 of the token "tok_example") triggers a search in the dashboard to run
After the search is finished, I want to set the token "tok_example" back to it's original value 0 (without any additional interaction by the user with the dashboard)

Step 4 is the part I don't know how to do in Dashboard Studio. Is there a solution for that?

Currently the only event is an onClick type trigger as far as I can see in the documentation.

Since it appears what you want to do is trigger a search and then wait you might want to look into the recently added Submit button options which should allow you to trigger a data source research on demand.

Thanks @dural_yyz for the answer. Where can I find the Submit button options you mentioned?

I could not find any documentation for that...
