How to get the name of the chosen token in drop-down input ?

[rajparekh08]

I am trying to get the the name of the token selected in the drop-down, and not the value.
The drop-down has a token name "dropToken" and has three choices aaa;bbb;ccc . The three choices have different values which I use in my search string. I am able to get the value of the choice by using $dropToken". Now I want to use the the token choice in the title of the panel. How can I get the token choice?

XML snippet

  <label>Choose a Consumer</label>
  <choice value="value specific to aaa">aaa/choice>
  <choice value="value specific to bbb">bbb</choice>
  <choice value="value specific to ccc">ccc</choice>
</input>

Now I want to take the value of the drop-down choice and use the same in the title of the panel, where this choice is used to derive the chart. like "chart for ccc"

Before closing out your </input> area, add:

<change>
<set token="dropToken_label">$label$</set>
</change>

Then use $dropToken_label$ as your token for the label of $dropToken$

Frankly, I'd look here - http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/6.2.2/Viz/tokens#Access_labels_and_values_of_form_inputs

It shows you how to access input labels to use in titles.

Hi rajparekh08,
I understand that you want to use these values to display in the panel title. Well I can get them and display them in a table or chart, let me show it, may be someone can use it to finalise the answer.
1- after creating your dropdown with your choices (aaa=host, bbb=source,ccc=sourcetype ) and your token;
2- build your search string using eval command and if(). for example :

index=_internal |stats count|eval choice=if("$token$"="host","aaa",if("$token$"="source","bbb","ccc"))|table count choice

This display count and what we want to put in the panel title.

Hi rajparekh08
In your dropdown input add this

<default>*</default>  

And define your panel title like this

<title> drop_Token="$drop_Token$" </title>

<form>
  <label>DashboardAn1</label>
  <fieldset submitButton="false">
    <input type="checkbox" token="categoryId" searchWhenChanged="true">
      <label>Choose your CategoryId</label>
      <prefix>(</prefix>
      <suffix>)</suffix>
      <valuePrefix>categoryId="</valuePrefix>
      <valueSuffix>"</valueSuffix>
      <delimiter>OR</delimiter>
      <choice value="STRATEGY">aaa</choice>
      <choice value="SIMULATION">BBB</choice>
      <choice value="TEE">ccc</choice>
    </input>
  </fieldset>
  <row>
    <panel>
      <title>$categoryId$</title>
      <table>

        <search>
          <query>sourcetype="access_combined_wcookie"  action=purchase $categoryId$|stats count by categoryId</query>
        </search>
        <option name="wrap">true</option>
