Drilldown help

I am trying to drilldown to another view and pass 2 variables in the process. This is what it looks like in Advanced XML (Sideview Utils) and it works:

          <module name="Redirector">
            <param name="url">capsule_ad_floor_drill</param>
            <param name="arg.fact_facility_desc">$fact_facility_desc$</param>
            <param name="arg.patient_location_mnemonic">$click.value$</param>
          </module>

My interperation of it in Simple XML:

  <drilldown>
    <link>
      <![CDATA[
      /app/hca_capsule_web/capsule_adoption_unit?form.fact_facility_desc=$fact_facility_desc$&patient_location_mnemonic=$row.Nursing Unit$
      ]]>
    </link>
  </drilldown>

This seems to be working correctly, based on what I see in the next screen's URL:

app/hca_capsule_web/capsule_adoption_unit?form.fact_facility_desc=Alaska%20Regional%20Hospital&patient_location_mnemonic=L.ORT&earliest=-1d%40d&latest=%40d

So I assume the problem is with the target view... Below is the code. It populates a Facility, just not the location. Any ideas?

  <fieldset autoRun="true" submitButton="false">
    <input type="time" searchWhenChanged="true">
      <label>Select a Time Range:</label>
      <default>Yesterday</default>
    </input>
    <input type="dropdown" token="fact_facility_desc" searchWhenChanged="true">
      <label>Select a Facility</label>
      <populatingSearch fieldForValue="fact_facility_desc" fieldForLabel="Facility">
        <![CDATA[| `new_get_facility_list` | `capsule_eval_facility` | sort Facility ]]>
      </populatingSearch>
    </input>
    <input type="dropdown" token="patient_location_mnemonic" searchWhenChanged="true">
      <label>Select a Nursing Unit</label>
      <populatingSearch fieldForValue="patient_location_mnemonic" fieldForLabel="patient_location_mnemonic">
        <![CDATA[| `capsule_unit_include_inputlookup($fact_facility_desc$)` ]]>
      </populatingSearch>
    </input>
  </fieldset>

Within the Simple XML drilldown configuration, try prefixing the token name with "form.".

Something like this:


<![CDATA[
/app/hca_capsule_web/capsule_adoption_unit?form.fact_facility_desc=$fact_facility_desc$&form.patient_location_mnemonic=$row.Nursing Unit$
]]>
