Remove x button from dropdown in Simple XML

[dlstafford]

Anyone know how I can remove the X (clear) button from my dropdowns using simple XML? I found something related in the dev documentation at http://dev.splunk.com/view/webframework-htmldashboards/SP-CAAAETT but can't work out how to apply this to a Simple XML dropdown.

In the Simple XML Reference for the input type dropdown, there's a showClearButton child element listed. For example:

<input type="dropdown" token="sourcetype_tok">
  <showClearButton>false</showClearButton>
  <label>Select a source type</label>
  <default>splunkd</default>
  <choice value="splunkd">splunkd</choice>
  <choice value="splunk_web_access">splunk_web_access</choice>
  <choice value="splunkd_ui_access">splunkd_ui_access</choice>
</input>

I know this was an old question, but I was seeking the same answer, so maybe this will save someone else some time. 🙂
