@Deepz2612 @prettysunshinez If you want to avoid JS, you can try one of my following workaround which uses table cell values displayed as buttons so that we are allowed to set/unset token as part of table <drilldown> using Simple XML itself.

Please try out and confirm. Let me know if you need explanation for any of the section of the run anywhere example:

<dashboard>
  <label>Dashboard with Buttons using Formatted Table without JS based HTML buttons</label>
  <row id="rowPanelTableButtons">
    <panel id="panelTableButtonLeft">
      <html depends="$alwaysHideCSSPanel$">
        <style>
          #rowPanelTableButtons {
            display: inline-flex !important;
          }
          #panelTableButtonLeft .dashboard-panel{
            margin-right: 0px !important;
          }
          #tableWithHideButton table thead,
          #tableWithShowButton table thead{
            display: none !important;
          }
          #tableWithShowButton table tbody tr,
          #tableWithHideButton table tbody tr{
              display: flex;
          }

Have you tried <html> in panel tag?

<panel>
   <html>
   <input type="button" value="my Button" />
   </html>
 </panel>

You can use any HTML tags over here. Please let us know if you have any issue with this.
