Hello All,

I keep getting duplicates on my values for multiselect dropdown. I made sure my fields were correct the - field for name and field for values and query on the search.  Not sure what else I need to check for. My source below... Any advise is welcome. 

 

<input type="multiselect" token="tok_space_name" searchWhenChanged="true">

      <label>Select Space</label>

      <choice value="*">All</choice>

      <default>*</default>

      <prefix>(</prefix>

      <suffix>)</suffix>

      <valuePrefix>space_name="</valuePrefix>

      <valueSuffix>"</valueSuffix>

      <delimiter> OR </delimiter>

      <fieldForLabel>Select Space</fieldForLabel>

      <fieldForValue>space_name</fieldForValue>

      <search>

        <query>index="lll_soruceIdx.idx"  | stats values(space_name) as space_name | mvexpand space_name</query>

        <earliest>$time_range.earliest$</earliest>

        <latest>$time_range.latest$</latest>

      </search>

Your '<fieldForLabel> should be a field in the data from your search to use as the visible dropdown, not the text

'Space Label', so change it to space_name

Also your search is probably better as

index="lll_soruceIdx.idx" 
| stats count by space_name 

so you don't first collapse all spaces and then expand them again.

Could you try adding below command as well in the end of the search query. This should remove any duplicate entries for space_name


| dedup space_name
