Creating 2 labels from one input

TzipR — Mon, 06 Jan 2025 14:11:12 GMT

I am working om creating a dashboard to display data from my app-I have a dropdown where you select which environment you want to see data for-I need to set 2 values based on this dropdown:

1.connection for db queries

2. host for logs based queries
I searched many option but couldn't get any to work:I am trying to do <fieldset submitButton="false">
<input type="dropdown" token="connection">
<label>Select Region</label>
<default>dev-platform-postgres</default>
<choice value="dev-platform-postgres">US</choice>
<choice value="dev-platform-postgres-eu">EU</choice>
<change>
<condition label = 'dev-platform-postgres'>
<set token="host">eks-prod-saas-ue1-*</set>
</condition>
<condition label = 'dev-platform-postgres-eu'>
<set token="host">prd-shared-services-eu-eks*</set>
</condition>
</change>
</input>
</fieldset>
and then be able to use both $host$ and $connection$ tokens in the dashboard but I cant get $host$ initialized correctly
any help would be appreciated
also -side note I am getting a warning "Expected at most 1 children of fieldset in dashboard, instead saw 2"-how am I supposed to handle a case where I want 2 selections -one of date and one of connection?

Use an init block

<form version="1.1" theme="light"> <label>Hosts</label> <init> <set token="host">eks-prod-saas-ue1-*</set> </init> <fieldset submitButton="false"> <input type="dropdown" token="connection"> <label>Select Region</label> <default>dev-platform-postgres</default> <choice value="dev-platform-postgres">US</choice> <choice value="dev-platform-postgres-eu">EU</choice> <change> <condition label="dev-platform-postgres"> <set token="host">eks-prod-saas-ue1-*</set> </condition> <condition label="dev-platform-postgres-eu"> <set token="host">prd-shared-services-eu-eks*</set> </condition> </change> </input> </fieldset> <row> <panel> <html> <p>$host$ $connection$</p> </html> </panel> </row> </form>

Hi @ITWhisperer thanks for taking the time to reply
when using init -it only initializes the first time but doesn't update accordingly when fieldset is changed

I tried also :

<fieldset submitButton="false"> <input type="dropdown" token="connection"> <label>Select Region</label> <default>dev-platform-postgres</default> <choice value="dev-platform-postgres">US</choice> <choice value="dev-platform-postgres-eu">EU</choice> <change> <condition match="$connection$==dev-platform-postgres"> <set token="host">eks-prod-saas-ue1-*</set> </condition> <condition match="$connection$==dev-platform-postgres-eu"> <set token="host">prd-shared-services-eu-eks*</set> </condition> </change> </input> </fieldset>

but again $host$ is not updated on fieldset change

I misunderstood your problem - your conditions need to use the values of the labels, i.e. US and EU

<form version="1.1" theme="light"> <label>Hosts</label> <init> <set token="host">eks-prod-saas-ue1-*</set> </init> <fieldset submitButton="false"> <input type="dropdown" token="connection"> <label>Select Region</label> <default>dev-platform-postgres</default> <choice value="dev-platform-postgres">US</choice> <choice value="dev-platform-postgres-eu">EU</choice> <change> <condition label="US"> <set token="host">eks-prod-saas-ue1-*</set> </condition> <condition label="EU"> <set token="host">prd-shared-services-eu-eks*</set> </condition> </change> </input> </fieldset> <row> <panel> <html> <p>$host$ $connection$</p> </html> </panel> </row> </form>
