How do I set a selected value for the multidropdownview?

[keithyap]

I have 2 dashboards, an overview dashboard where I would drilldown to another dashboard with the multidropdownview. How do I set a selected value on the multidropdownview when drilling down from the overview dashboard? For normal form inputs I can just add the form."tokenName" and that would set the value for the input. Is there a way I can achieve this with multidropdownview?

Assuming this is a django dashboard, you can set the vlue forthe multidropdownview in javascript like this:

 splunkjs.mvc.Components.getInstance("your-multi-dropdown-id").settings.set("default",["dropdownvalue"]);
