I have a dashboard with a drop down form field which is populated using a search. I want the panels in the dashboard to load scheduled reports based on the value selected in the drop down. Tried the following but it doesn't seem to be working.
<form>
<label>....</label>
<fieldset submitButton="false">
<input type="dropdown" token="product">
<search>
<query>...</query>
</search>
<fieldForLabel>....</fieldForLabel>
<fieldForValue>....</fieldForValue>
</input>
</fieldset>
<row>
<panel>
<table>
<title>....</title>
<search ref="$product$-XYZ"></search>
</table>
</panel>
</row>
... more panels that use $product$
</form>
Depending on your version of Splunk (given that you're using the newer search element syntax, i suspect you're ok), but one option may be to use changed conditions, to show/hide different panels as described in an unset example in the docs: http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/6.2.0/Viz/PanelreferenceforSimplifiedXML#unset (they're using a drilldown instead of an input changed, but same principle)
Another option may be instead of a search ref, have a search string that uses either the loadjob or savedsearch command instead. Check the docs for syntax, but string substitutions should work there.
