Dropdown value using inputlookup

[rsathish47]

Hi All,

Am not able to populate value for dropdown using inputlookup.. Nothing was listing the Dropdown. Please let me if am doing anything wrong. Thanks in advance

<fieldset>
  <input type="dropdown" token="country_name">
  <label>Select a user</label>
  <choice value="*">Any</choice>
    <populatingSearch fieldForValue="country_name" fieldForLabel="country_name">
      <![CDATA[ | inputlookup country_name | fields country_name ]]>
    </populatingSearch>
  </input>
</fieldset>

Thanks

In this xml (pasted above), name of the field returned by "|inputlookup" and used in 'fieldforvalue' and 'fieldforlabel' is different. You need to add "|rename Business_unit as BUName" in your search for dropdown.

Based on the full form XML, your fields Business_unit doesn't match up with fieldforvalue="BUName".

Thanks Martin.. i changed it and works fine 🙂

Simple XML:

Detailindex=msexchange source=Powershell sourcetype="MSExchange:2010:DistributionGroup-Members" DistributionGroup=$BUName$ | dedup Alias| table DistributionGroup Name Alias

Select a userAny | inputlookup Orch_Retension_Audit | fields Business_unit

50

That should work then, copying your fieldset into a SimpleXML form over here works as soon as I added a corresponding lookup by that name.

yes am getting data in regular search

[martin_mueller]

In principle that's the correct way to go. Does the populating search yield results in the regular search interface for that app?

Simple XML:

Select a country Any | inputlookup country_name | fields country_name
