How to modify a token

[syk19567]

Hi community,

I have a dropdown for environments like DEV/CT/PROD, and saved it into a token `SDLC`.
Now I would like to define another token `new_sdlc`. It's "ctpm" when `SDLC` is "pm"; Otherwise, it's the same value as `SDLC`.

In the end, I found a way working but a bit stupid, simply because it seems "!=" is not allowed so I have to list all conditions.

I've checked a few posts but didn't find a working and elegant way. I bet there is one. Looking forward to your help.

Here is my code:

<fieldset submitButton="false">
<input type="time" token="field1">
<label></label>
<default>
<earliest>-24h@h</earliest>
<latest>now</latest>
</default>
</input>
<input type="dropdown" token="SDLC">
<label>SDLC</label>
<choice value="prod">PROD</choice>
<choice value="ct">CT</choice>
<choice value="pm">PM</choice>
<default>prod</default>
<initialValue>prod</initialValue>
<change>
<condition label="CT">
<set token="new_sdlc">ct</set>
</condition>
<condition label="PM">
<set token="new_sdlc">ctpm</set>
</condition>
<condition label="PROD">
<set token="new_sdlc">prod</set>
</condition>
</change>
</input>
</fieldset>

Try something like this

<change>
<eval token="new_sdlc">if("$SDLC$"=="sldc","ctpm","$SDLC$")</eval>
</change>

A problem I noticed is, the new token only gets a value when we change the origin token.

That's to say, when we opened the dashboard, although the origin token has a default value, the new token is null, thus the queries don't work. We'll see "Search is waiting for input "

What about if you set the initial value as well as the default value?

Thank you for the response! I had a try like this (maybe not exactly the same) before posting, and it didn't work.

However, this time I pasted yours and after a slight change, it works!

Now it's like:

if(SDLC=="pm","ctpm",SDLC)

So it seems I cannot use $ and quotes. After removing them, it's good!
