Hello, 

I want to initialize a token with the week number value of today. According to the documentation, https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/SCS/current/Search/Timevariables, the variable to use to get the week of the year (1 to 52) is %V. This works on any search query, but this is not working when used in a <init> tag of a dashboard. This is my <init>:

<form version="1.1" theme="dark">
<init>
<eval token="todayYear">strftime(now(), "%Y")</eval>
<eval token="todayMonth">strftime(now(), "%m")</eval>
<eval token="todayWeek">strftime(now(), "%V")</eval>
<eval token="yearToken">strftime(now(), "%Y")</eval>
<eval token="monthToken">strftime(now(), "%m")</eval>
</init>

...

All these tokens are well initialized except to todayWeek, which refers to %V variable, which take no value. 

What am I doing wrong?

I don't think you are doing anything wrong, it looks like a bug to me.
