Populate Pulldown based on Lookup Field

[gnovak]

I have a lookup with a field "description". I would like a pulldown menu to populate with all of the values in the description field from my lookup file.

The menu populates if I use a search that DOESN'T use a lookup field so it is functional in that aspect. However I can't seem to get this to work and I've tried a few searches already. The Pulldown menu is just full of "No Values Found".

So far I tried:

| inputlookup WAT_Lookups.csv | fields description | dedup description

sourcetype=EPPWEB WAT | fields description | dedup description

Both of these searches, when done manually in search, show the description field and values in this field. Why they aren't populating the menu I'm not sure yet. Any ideas here?

Also the funny thing is, even though the pulldown menu will have "no values found" about 15 times, if I click on my search button on my form, everything works, all my graphs and tables load and the "description" field resolves and shows results. ? Just can't get it in the pulldown menu.

EDITED --

Formerly I advised trying

<param name="valueField">registry</param>

instead of

<param name="valueField">$name$</param>

but this was an erroneous answer. $name$ will work perfectly well in valueField, as a shortcut to the Pulldown's "name" param.

The questioner was able to later find and fix root cause on his own.

Actually. I took another look with slightly different eyes, and the Pulldown module absolutely DOES accept $name$ in valueField and labelField.... Sorry about the misleading answer but Im glad that you were able to resolve the problem.
