Submit button not working in drop down
Hi,
I have a dashboard that consists of two text boxes, a drop-down menu, and a submit button.
The text boxes take in start time and end time. The drop-down menu holds multiple panels.
What we want is for the user to be able to enter a start time, end time, pick the option they want to
see in the drop-down menu, and then click the submit button.
What is happening now is the submit button is being ignored.
I have tried to change both the start date and end date text boxes to search WhenChanged="true" and search WhenChanged="false" but neither seems to work.
Is it possible for the submit button to be able to handle so many things?
If so please provide a way for the submit button to work.
If clarification is needed please ask and I will provide.

@kishan2356 this is an issue with <change> event handler updating both Submit and Default token models. Hence subsequent searches depending on tokens declared in change event handler run even without submit button. Refer to one of my older answers to understand this behavior and use and independent search to add dummy dependency to prevent searches based on dummy dependent tokens from running until submit button is clicked: https://answers.splunk.com/answers/742451/searchwhenchangedfalse-not-honored-1.html
On a different note refer to another one of my older answers to use jQuery Date picker in Splunk Dashboard which requires Simple XML JS extension: https://answers.splunk.com/answers/627432/jquery-datepicker-in-splunk.html

Hi Kishan,
Once you correct the change handler,you should use $ to fetch the token values.
strptime($startdate$,"%m/%d/%Y %H:%M %p")
strptime($enddate$,"%m/%d/%Y %H:%M %p")

Hi @kishan2356,
You could use the below snippet.
I have included an option to display the values.You can remove it once you test the functionality.

Hi kishan2356,
Is your search dependent on the tokens that you are applying?
