Can I reload the values of a form input?

[a212830]

Hi,

I have a form with a drop-down select which passes values (index) to a multi-select form (sourcetype). What I've noticed is that if I've chosen some sourcetypes, and then decide to change the index, the sourcetypes remain in the multi-select input, and I have to delete them manually. Is there a way to reload the sourcetype input after the index selection changes?

Hope this makes sense...

You have to set it up in a hierarchical manner so that your cascading parameters will operate as expected.

@Somesoni2 posted some sample code here a couple of years back -

Thanks. When I saw "cascading", I recalled something similar in the Splunk Dashboard examples app, and that appears to do what I want. However, looking at the example, the description mentions using "populatingSearch", but the example doesn't actually use populatingSearch, so I'm not sure where to put it.

Anyone?

Would you edit or comment on your original post and include the simple xml you're using?
