Splunk works in search but not in dashboard dropdown

Hello Everyone,

My below splunk query works fine in normal splunk search and it returns expected results:

 

index="my_index" 
| stats count by kubernetes_cluster | table kubernetes_cluster | sort kubernetes_cluster

 

However when the same query when I have it in dashboard's dropdown it is not returning that data.

Search on Change is unchecked.

the dropdown looks like this:

super_edition_0-1728297151041.png

source view:

 <input type="dropdown" token="regions" searchWhenChanged="false">
      <label>region</label>
      <fieldForLabel>regions</fieldForLabel>
      <fieldForValue>regions</fieldForValue>
      <search>
        <query>index="my_index" 
| stats count by kubernetes_cluster | table kubernetes_cluster | sort kubernetes_cluster</query>
        <earliest>0</earliest>
        <latest></latest>
      </search>
    </input>

Hi @super_edition ,

the only field present in your search is "kubernetes_cluster" but the field in Label and value is "region".

use the same field.

Ciao.
