Pass a run time variable in spunk

I have the following query where $eventBreakdownDateTime$ is a selection input which I want to assign it to a variable called temp

AppDomain="AutomationServer"
UserName=*
Token=*
| spath output=Message path=Message
| fieldformat EventDateTime=strftime(_time,"%Y%d%m%H%M%S%3N")
| eval temp = $eventBreakdownDateTime$
| table Message, _time, EventDateTime, SelectedDate, temp

This is giving me an error Error in eval: the expression is malformed
