Hi there,
I am populating a drop down menu with a lookup file. The lookup file contains the sourcetype and a simple translation into better words. To goal is to make it simple for user who don't know the sourcetypes. The just choose the "easy word" and in the background the sourcetype is the token for the searches.
In my lookup file there are both values, means the sourcetype and the "easy words".
How can I populate the drop down with the "easy words" but in the background I can give the search the sourcetype?
<fieldset>
<input type="dropdown" token="sourcetype" searchWhenChanged="true">
<label>Select OS</label>
<default>localhost</default>
<populatingSearch fieldForValue="sourcetype" fieldForLabel="sourcetype">| inputlookup translation | table sourcetype</populatingSearch>
Change your populating search to
<populatingSearch fieldForValue="sourcetype" fieldForLabel="XYZ">| inputlookup translation | table sourcetype XYZ</populatingSearch>
Replace XYZ
with the name of the field in the lookup table that contains the "easy words."
Change your populating search to
<populatingSearch fieldForValue="sourcetype" fieldForLabel="XYZ">| inputlookup translation | table sourcetype XYZ</populatingSearch>

thank you very much 🙂
