Dropdown in a Form

[bt149]

I have a dashboard (form) where I have a dropdown to choose between two different types of "changes" that may have happened in one of our environments.  When one of the dropdowns is chosen, a table is populated with results.

The dropdown menu is configured:

<choice value="index=something blah blah blah | table 1 2 3">Config Change</choice>

<choice value="index=another_index blah blah blah | table 7 8 9">Admin Change</choice>

The table portion is configured:

<query>$tok_change$</query>

This all works great.  I have a need to eval a field called Name in the Config Change "choice".  This Name field will have a value of "A change to the system was made."

The comes in when I add the following to the SPL:
eval Name="A change to the system was made"

I receive the following message:

"Error on line 8: Invalid attribute name"

I figure it has something to do with the quote in the eval statement but I can't make this happen.  Any help / guidance is greatly appreciated.

Hi  @bt149,

let me understand:

you use in a panel a search choosed on the drilldown, and then you want to add an eval command to the search, is it correct?

are you using this notation?

<query>
   $tok_change$
   | eval Name="A change to the system was made"
</query>

in other words, are you using the pipe before the eval command?

Ciao.

I used &quot; around the eval and it worked.
