Passing selected time range to drilldown in Simple XML

[IgorB]

Hi.

How can I pass the time range selected in timerange picker to a drilldown form in Splunk 6.x Simple XML-based form ?
I've tried passing $earliest$ and $latest$ as described in Simple XML Reference) , but that passes only the time range of the timechart bin I've clicked on.

Form example:

<form>
    <label>Timechart for drilldown</label>
    <fieldset autoRun="true" submitButton="false">
    <input type="time" searchWhenChanged="true">
      <default>
        <earliestTime>-7d@h</earliestTime>
        <latestTime>now</latestTime>
      </default>
    </input>
    </fieldset>
    <row>
    <chart>
      <searchString>index=_internal source=*metrics.log group=per_sourcetype_thruput | timechart sum(kb) AS "KB" by series</searchString>
      <earliestTime>$earliest$</earliestTime>
      <latestTime>$latest$</latestTime>
      <option name="charting.chart">column</option>
      <option name="charting.chart.nullValueMode">gaps</option>
      <option name="charting.drilldown">all</option>
      <drilldown target="new">
        <link>
          <![CDATA[/app/search/test_drilldown?earliest=$earliest$&latest=$latest$]]>
        </link>
      </drilldown>
    </chart>
    </row>
</form>

Try this:
Changes - defined token for timerangepicker and used it along with token name where it was/has to be referenced.

<form>
    <label>Timechart for drilldown</label>
    <fieldset autoRun="true" submitButton="false">
    <input type="time" searchWhenChanged="true" token="dashboardTime">
      <default>
        <earliestTime>-7d@h</earliestTime>
        <latestTime>now</latestTime>
      </default>
    </input>
    </fieldset>
    <row>
    <chart>
      <searchString>index=_internal source=*metrics.log group=per_sourcetype_thruput | timechart sum(kb) AS "KB" by series</searchString>
      <earliestTime>$dashboardTime.earliest$</earliestTime>
      <latestTime>$dashboardTime.latest$</latestTime>
      <option name="charting.chart">column</option>
      <option name="charting.chart.nullValueMode">gaps</option>
      <option name="charting.drilldown">all</option>
      <drilldown target="new">
        <link>
          <![CDATA[/app/search/test_drilldown?earliest=$dashboardTime.earliest$&latest=$dashboardTime.latest$]]>
        </link>
      </drilldown>
    </chart>
    </row>
</form>

Is it possible to pass an input token and the time range picker time?
