Hide Search produced no results error from dashboard in Splunk

[sag5757]

I have a dynamically populated dropdown. Depending on other input values, no values should be populated. However, when this is the case, this error message is displayed below the dropdown, "Search produced no results". How can I stop this error message from displaying?

Not sure how you are using the input parameter in dashboard search.

you can create static values in the input you have created and being populated based on another input and set static value as default.  So you will have always a value in the input even if the Search which is used in input generating no results.

Hi, I have 2 values category and sub category . Sub category is dependent on category . so I have created lookup to get these values in dropdown.. I just want to remove below error below the sub category field.

The message "could not create search" will not disappear until you choose you value from category input. because subcategory field search might be expecting value from category.

make sure you are getting values into subcategory when chosen value in category.
