Dropdown field not getting populated by populatingSearch

Hi,

The following code produces results (via searchTemplate), but does not populate my dropdown menu. Data is stored as lines of comma delimited key=value pairs, e.g., colour=red,block=lab,corner=100c. Note that the searches are identical for the searchTemplate and populatingSearch inputs.

index=test_index3 | fields block | dedup block | stats values(block)
All index=test_index3 | fields block | dedup block | stats values(block) *
$blocks$

Am I misusing the dropdown/populatingSearch syntax somehow?

Use table block instead of stats values(block) after the dedup block phrase of the populating search.

am using below code

  <label>Email ID</label>
  <search>
    <query>index=snow description=*CPU* number=INC0010007 | table sys_created_by</query>
    <earliest>0</earliest>
    <latest></latest>
  </search>
  <fieldForLabel>emailid</fieldForLabel>
  <fieldForValue>emailid</fieldForValue>
</input>

but my dropdown isn't getting populated whereas the query gives me result.
