Hi @vikas_gopal and @aelliott

I have this issue, and is really weird.

If I put the token in a title etiquette all works fine, but when I do the same in a label etiquette like this:

<label>$token$</label>

The first time works fine, but when I reload the dashboard, Splunk adds another pair of $, and I can't see the token's value:

$$token$$

This is weird, but even more when you go to the XML code and it seems to be right:

<label>$token$</label>

but if you click in Edit Panels, and then edit input, I can see in the label text box the next:

$$token$$

What's wrong?

Regards.
