So i am using multiselect to take dynamic input from user and it is working fine when i have individual searches running to populate dynamic list for each input but since for all those inputs my base search is same so i had thought to use Splunk's base search feature to populate the list which works fine at first submit but now when the panels are loaded and user wants to change the value in multiselect input it does not list all the values which were available at first . So wanted to know if is there something we can do to have this working in same fashion as it works for individual dynamics searches meaning the underlying values which were returned at first should remain intact or at least when the user is selecting "All" option it should repopulate that list.
I had tried using tokens set unset and stuff but no luck. I also tried having different base search for multiselect dropdown and panel but that too didn't worked.
Following is xml with base search which has the issue of reselecting multiselect dropdown values after submission -
<form version="1.1" theme="light">
<label>testing Clone</label>
<search id="base_dropdown">
<query>index=main sourcetype=access_combined_wcookie status IN ($status_tok$) file IN ($file_tok$) itemId IN ($itemId_tok$)</query>
<earliest>$time_tok.earliest$</earliest>
<latest>$time_tok.latest$</latest>
</search>
<search id="base_panel">
<query>index=main sourcetype=access_combined_wcookie status IN ($status_tok$) file IN ($file_tok$) itemId IN ($itemId_tok$)</query>
<earliest>$time_tok.earliest$</earliest>
<latest>$time_tok.latest$</latest>
</search>
<fieldset submitButton="true" autoRun="true">

Following is without base search for multiselect drop down which works as expected-
<form version="1.1" theme="light">
