Hello,
I'm trying from an initial search to put the value into a token to use it as a default initial value for a dropdown list something like this:

<form script="table_with_buttons.js">
      <search>
        <query>
            | makeresults
            | eval day=strftime(now(), "%d")
            | fields day  
        </query>
        <done>
          <set token="day">$result.day$</set>
        </done>
      </search>
      <init>
        <set token="start_day">$day$</set>
       </init>
  <row>
    <panel>
      <title>Data Inizio</title>
      <input type="dropdown" token="start_day">
        <label>Giorno $start_day$</label>
        <fieldForLabel>giorno</fieldForLabel>
        <fieldForValue>giornoid</fieldForValue>
        <search>
          <query>|inputlookup day.csv| table dayid day</query>
        </search>
        <choice value="$start_day$">$start_day$</choice>
        <default>$start_day$</default>
      </input>
    </panel>
  </row>
<form>

at runtime what I obtain is shown in the picture :

Hi

Check this, Please correct fieldForLabel and fieldForValue based on your query

<form script="table_with_buttons.js">
  <search>
    <query>
             | makeresults
             | eval day=strftime(now(), "%d")
             | fields day  
         </query>
    <done>
      <set token="day">$result.day$</set>
    </done>
  </search>
  <init>
    <set token="start_day">$day$</set>
  </init>
  <fieldset submitButton="false"></fieldset>
  <row>
    <panel>
      <title>Data Inizio</title>
      <input type="dropdown" token="start_day">
        <label>Giorno $start_day$</label>
        <fieldForLabel>day</fieldForLabel>
        <fieldForValue>day</fieldForValue>
        <search>
          <query>| makeresults count=31 | streamstats count as day</query>
        </search>
        <default>$start_day$</default>
      </input>
    </panel>
  </row>
</form>

It doesn't work in the dropdown the default value is not 15 ( today ) is always $day$.
It seems that Splunk doesn't accept the first query which pass the today value in the token.
The porpouse is to load a dropdown with the list of days, and by default to show the today value.

Thanks

Can you try this

<form script="table_with_buttons.js">
  <search>
    <query>
             | makeresults
             | eval day=strftime(now(), "%d")
             | fields day  
         </query>
    <done>
      <set token="day">$result.day$</set>
    </done>
  </search>
  <fieldset submitButton="false"></fieldset>
  <row>
    <panel>
      <title>Data Inizio</title>
      <input type="dropdown" token="start_day">
        <label>Giorno $day$</label>
        <fieldForLabel>day</fieldForLabel>
        <fieldForValue>day</fieldForValue>
        <search>
          <query>| makeresults count=31 | streamstats count as day</query>
        </search>
        <default>$day$</default>
      </input>
    </panel>
  </row>
</form>
