Hi,

You can use tokens in the title like $t_Bank$ and pass value form previous chart or filter:

 <table>
          <title>Top Errors for the Bank $t_Bank$ </title>
          <searchString> ....</searchString>
          <earliestTime> $earliest$ </earliestTime>
          <latestTime> $latest$ </latestTime>
          <option name="wrap">true</option>  
   </table>

How you are going to get values dynamically? through filter?
Anyhow you are taking the filter value into token, so you can use that token as mentioned. Pls let me know if does not work

Here is one sample code for dynamic values from a text box.

<form>
  <label>DynamicChartTitle</label>
  <description>NULL</description>
  <fieldset autoRun="true" submitButton="true">    
    <input type="text" token="chartTitle" searchWhenChanged="true">
      <label>Chart Title</label>   
      <default>*</default>
    </input>    
  </fieldset>
  <row>
   <chart>
    <title>The chart tile is- $chartTitle$</title>
    <searchString>
      index=_internal source="*metrics.log"
      group=per_sourcetype_thruput 
      | timechart sum(kb) by series
    </searchString>
    <earliestTime>-1h</earliestTime>
    <latestTime>now</latestTime>
    <option name="charting.data.fieldShowList">
      ["splunkd_access", "splunkd"]
    </option>
    <option name="charting.chart">line</option>

If the value is not available in dashboard, how are you planning to provide the 'dynamic' value to the chart title? Is it stored somewhere?
