Dashboards & Visualizations

How do I display a dropdown input as "Name" instead of "Value"?

Hello,

I added a dropdown input at the top of my dashboard with various time intervals to refresh each chart. Now, on the charts' subtitles, I would like to display that auto-refresh rate. The token for the dropdown input is $AutoRefresh$:

Name:                    Value:
1 minute                1m
5 minutes              5m
10 minutes            10m
15 minutes            15m
30 minutes            30m

In the subtitle I have:
This chart auto refreshes every $AutoRefresh$

This displays, for example, 5m when I would like it to display 5 minutes. Reading the documentation I am not seeing any "additions" to tokens, such as $AutoRefresh.Name$, etc.

Is this possible to do?

@sochsenbein,

Add a change event to the dropdown and set the token to "label" .

<form>
  <fieldset submitButton="false">
    <input type="dropdown" token="Autorefresh">
      <label>AutoRefresh</label>
      <choice value="1m">1 Minute</choice>
      <choice value="5m">5 Minutes</choice>
      <change>
        <set token="LabelName">$label$</set>
      </change>
    </input>
  </fieldset>
  <row>
    <html>
      <h3>$LabelName$   :  $Autorefresh$</h3>
    </html>
  </row>
</form>
