How to create a drilldown to another dashboard with time arguments?

Hello !

So I'm looking to make a drilldown referencing to another dashboard with the time changing in the second dashboard for the same range of time.

<form>
  <fieldset submitButton="false" autoRun="true"></fieldset>
  <row>
    <panel>
      <input type="dropdown" searchWhenChanged="true" token="timeEarliest">
        <label>Select an earliest time frame</label>
        <default>-24h</default>
        <choice value="-1w">-1w</choice>
        <choice value="-24h">-24h</choice>
        <choice value="-6h">-6h</choice>
      </input>
      <input type="dropdown" searchWhenChanged="true" token="timeLastest">
        <label>Select a latest time frame</label>
        <default>now</default>
        <choice value="-18h">-18h</choice>
        <choice value="now">now</choice>
      </input>
      <chart>
        <title>Chanel View</title>
        <search>
          <query> index=main text="*Req*"| timechart count bins=500 minspan=5min as "Errors</query>
          <earliest>$timeEarliest$</earliest>
          <latest>$timeLastest$</latest>
        </search>
          <drilldown target="Drilldown">
          <link>
            <![CDATA[
      /app/SOS/chanel_view#en-US/app/SOS/chanel_view?&earliest=$timeEarliest$&latest=$timeLatest$
              ]]>
          </link>
        </drilldown>
      </chart>
    </panel>
  </row>
</form>

And for the second dashboard:
It keeps staying on " Search is waiting for input... "

     <chart>
        <title>transactional </title>
        <search>
          <query>index=main |timechart count(text) as Error span=5min</query>
          <earliest>$timeEarliest$</earliest>
          <latest>$timeLastest$</latest>
        </search>
  </chart>

I was hoping that it was able to take the time from the link /app/SOS/chanel_view#en-US/app/SOS/chanel_view?&earliest=$timeEarliest$&latest=$timeLatest$ and use it for the second dashboard.

Thanks for your help

I found the answer :

<drilldown target="_blank">
          <link>
            <![CDATA[
            /app/SOS/chanel_view?earliest=$form.timeEarliest5$&latest=$form.timeLatest5$
              ]]>
          </link>
</drilldown>

If forget the "form." in each source token.
To solve the problem i looked at the source URL and the destination URL :
Source URL : form.timeEarliest=-24h& form.timeLatest=now
Destination URL : ?earliest=-24h&latest=now

Hope this can help

Two issues here
1. Token name for timeLatest is misspelled here as "timeLastest" in the inputs (first dashboard)
2. Use following for the drilldown - link

 /app/SOS/chanel_view?earliest=$timeEarliest$&latest=$timeLatest$
