I have two fields, event category (token name for this is category) and name(token name name_tok) for 2 different dropdowns.

Now if I select category as Car I want to see options like suv, xuv, hatchback in name dropdown.
If I select category bike I want to see options like pulsar, passion, stunner in namedropdown.

I have created a lookup, Actionlookup and build the below query:

index=abc Event_vehicle=$category$|lookup Actionlookup Event_vehicle as Event_vehicle OUTPUT values(NAME) as newname |dedup newname| table Event_vehicle newname

Note field name is same in lookup file and events for field, Event_vehicle

But the dropdown for name doesn't work
