[BUG] Why SPLUNK Dashboard export PDF resolves Tokens but Scheduled PDF does not

I have a requirement to schedule a PDF weekly/monthly etc and show the Title of each section representing the Day From and Day To.

I created dynamic tokens and put that in the title. The dashboard shows it and when I click export PDF it shows appropriate dates but when I schedule a PDF the Auto Scheduled PDF doesn't show the dates, instead it shows $token_XX$ which means the tokens are not getting resolved with the auto scheduled PDF.

Modified the search query as I cant paste the original

Refer to the below URL. This document clearly says that "Search result" and "Job information" tokens are not available for Scheduled PDF Delivery.

For scheduled PDF delivery, you can use tokens in the following fields of an email:

If your organisation has purchased Splunk Support there would be an Entitlement Number which can be used to create a ticket with Splunk Support Team.

You can begin with your own Splunk Support Team for the details on this.

Could you also let us know as to what is the schedule of the Dashboard PDF generation?

I would say do it manually until issue is resolved. Figure out who can create a case with Splunk Support or whether they have a workaround.
