How to create dropdown list to remove * option?

erica
Explorer

I have a dropdown list with manually specified choices - A, C, D and All, but somehow splunk will auto populate another option * as default in my dropdown list after saving it.

The reason why I do not want * to be representing All in my dashboard is because Type might content B data that I want to exclude from being shown on my dashboard.

 

Anyone knows how to remove this * option?  Thank you

 

 

<input type="dropdown" token="contentType">
<label>Type</label>
<choice value="A">A</choice>
<choice value="C">C</choice>
<choice value="D">D</choice>
<choice value="ALL" OR content_type="C" OR content_type="D">All</choice>
<prefix>(</prefix>
<suffix>)</suffix>
<default>"A" OR content_type="C" OR content_type="D"</default>
<initialValue>""A" OR content_type="C" OR content_type="D"</initialValue>
</input>
