Classic Dashboard HTML Link with Tokens
I have a Classic Dashboard where I have an HTML panel. I am trying to link to another dashboard with tokens that the user can select via multiselects. However, it isn't working. This is my HTML panel:
<row>
<panel>
<html><div>
<a target="_blank" href=/app/app/operating_system?form.case_token=$case_token$&form.host_name=$host_name$">Operating System Artifacts</a>
</div></html>
</panel>
</row>- Mark as New

I made a typo in my post, so here is the actual version. Thank you in advance for your help!
<row>
<panel>
<html><div>
<a target="_blank" href="/app/app/operating_system?form.case_token=$case_token$&form.host_name=$host_name$">Operating System Artifacts</a>
</div></html>
</panel>
</row>- Mark as New

Please provide more information - what do you mean by "not working"? What does the rest of your dashboard look like? What does your target dashboard look like?
I have not been able to reproduce the issue from the limited information you have provided, however, I have created a dashboard with tokens making up a link in an HTML panel which does work.

It brings me to the next dashboard, but the tokens aren't set.

You can't set tokens like this, they should be tokens from an input. Try something like this
<a target="_blank" href="/app/app/operating_system_artifacts?form.case_token=$case_token$&form.host_name=$host_name$"><h1>Operating System Artifacts</h1></a>And convert your target dashboard to a form and add a couple of hidden text inputs
<row>
<panel>
<input type="text" token="case_token" depends="$alwaysHide$"></input>
<input type="text" token="host_name" depends="$alwaysHide$"></input>
<html encoded="1"><h1>Prefetch</h1></html>
</panel>
</row>- Mark as New

I did this, but it still doesn't work. When I click on the link, this is the URL that flashes:
/apps/apps/operating_system_artifacts?form.case_token=index=index_burns*&form.host_name=$host_name$
Then, immediately after, it changes to:
/apps/apps/operating_system_artifacts?form.case_token=index&form.host_name=%24host_name%24
Do you think the issue could be how the multi-select token works?

You aren't using multi-selects, you are using dropdowns, these are different types of inputs. Anyway, that probably isn't your issue. Try encoding the tokens for use in an URL (with the |u modifier)
<a target="_blank" href="/app/app/operating_system_artifacts?case_token=$case_token|u$&host_name=$host_name|u$"><h1>Operating System Artifacts</h1></a>

Perfect, that worked for the URL and setting the tokens. However, the search on the second dashboard (operating system), still says "Search is waiting for input..."

Your second dashboard doesn't have a global_time input - probably waiting for that to be set?
