How do you make a graph in a dashboard run on a token input from a dropdown?

Hello, the image below shows the dashboard that I have created.

The token of the Channel dropdown is called field3.

The graph below (named: DC Account Groups) is supposed to take the Channel input from the above dropdown and run the query to display results. But for some reason, even after selecting an input (channel in this case) from the dropdown, the graph still says: Waiting for input.

Here is the query i'm running in the graph:

index=uplynk slice_played | rex field=_raw "^(?<date>\S*)\s*(?<time>\S*)\s*(?<slice_played>\S*)\s*(?<assetID>\S*)\s*(?<sliceNumber>\S*)\s*(?<isLive>\S*)\s*(?<userIP>\S*)\s*(?<playerUserAgent>\S*)\s*(?<referrerURL>\S*)\s*(?<externalUserID>\S*)\s*(?<sessionID>\S*)\s*(?<playingOwnerID>\S*)\s*(?<channelID>\S*)\s*(?<eventID>\S*)\s*(?<duration>\S*)" | dedup channelID | search isLive=1 | lookup test.csv channelID OUTPUT channelID channelname accountgroup| search channelname="$field3$" | stats values(channelname)

The edit settings for the graph are in the image below:

Is there anything I should change there? Also, autorun dashboard is off.

Pls help ASAP.

Thanks

your token isn't working because it is in quotes search channelname="$field3$"

this should be search channelname=$field3$

If you need token value to be in quotes then add |s to the token like this search channelname=$field3|s$
