variable substitution for rule_title in notable event is not working

Hello Splunk colleagues!

I'm trying to create a new correlation search that generates a notable event, and uses a field I generate for the title.  The title field in the notable indicates I can use variable substitution, and I've verified that the field is being created for every event the correlation search generates.  the field is called my_rule_title

In the notable event, I am putting in $my_rule_title$ and when the notable is generated, the rule title on incident review literally says "$my_rule_title$" and not the contents of the field my_rule_title.

what am I doing wrong to get the rule title in incident review to display the value of my_rule_title?  the other variable substitutions I'm doing in the correlation search for $description$ and $urgency$ are working as expected, just not the title.

That is unusual, Ive never had an issue including tokens as you suggested, the only thing I can think of is the underscores - although I have particular idea as to why that would cause an issue - Could you try changing the field name to remove underscores and check to see how it behaves after this?

Just to clarify - when you run the search manually you get the "my_rule_title" field in the results, right?

Please let me know how you get on and consider accepting this answer or adding karma this answer if it has helped.
