Solved: Hide HTML with simple checkbox

mclane1 · ‎09-28-2021

Hello

  <row>
    <panel>
      <title>Manage alerts</title>
      <input type="checkbox" token="detail_input_token">
        <label></label>
        <choice value="hide">Hide detail</choice>
        <initialValue>hide</initialValue>
      </input>
      <html>debug detail_input_token:$detail_input_token$</html>
      <html rejects="$detail_input_token$">
        <body>
        <p> 
          <A HREF="/manager/myapp/data/lookup-table-files?ns=myapp&amp;pwnr=-&amp;search=mySearch&amp;count=100" target="_blank">
            Manage <B>lookup mySearch</B>  (csv files).
          </A>
        </p>
        </body>
      </html>
    </panel>
  </row>

It works in splunk 6.4.2
We migrate on splunk 8.2 and it doesn't work now.
I do many change without success.
Does somebody have an idea ?

Thanks in advance.

I find solution.

When we have already many inputs you must specify the searchWhenChanged and set to "true"

  <row>
    <panel>
      <title>Manage alerts</title>
      <input type="checkbox" token="detail_input_token" searchWhenChanged="true">
        <label></label>
        <choice value="hide">Hide detail</choice>
        <initialValue>hide</initialValue>
      </input>
      <html>debug detail_input_token:$detail_input_token$</html>
      <html rejects="$detail_input_token$">
        <body>
        <p> 
          <A HREF="/manager/myapp/data/lookup-table-files?ns=myapp&amp;pwnr=-&amp;search=mySearch&amp;count=100" target="_blank">
            Manage <B>lookup mySearch</B>  (csv files).
          </A>
        </p>
        </body>
      </html>
    </panel>
  </row>

Now it works
