Refreshing the dashboard using the browser refresh button, breaks it. Have used selectFirstChoice and unset token, so there might be something there.

Hi,

I have a dashboard that uses values from a manually uploaded data source file to dynamically display data in Splunk through a dashboard.

Here's a copy of my code:

<form>
      <label>Matches</label>
      <description>Dashboard instruction: Say you're on Match A and you want updated stats. Use the input selection to switch to Match B and then switch back to Match A. You will get the updated stats. With this, if you then want to view another match's stats, they'll also show perfectly. Basically, DO NOT use the browser refresh button.</description>

I don't want to use an auto-refresh on the dashboard, but I want to be able to share it's or link or refresh it every now and then. Problem is, when I do either of those things, the dashboard's values don't update. I can refresh each panel but that's too cumbersome. Am I doing something wrong? Please help!!
