Token set for Map Marker in dashboard studio

I need to set a token on the green marker displayed on the map. The search includes the fields REGION, latitude, longitude, and status. Whenever a user clicks on a marker, the corresponding token should be set, and any panel that uses this token should become visible.
 

 Below is my source code,

{
  "type": "splunk.map",
  "title": "Active Alert in Map View",
  "dataSources": {
    "primary": "ds AFMPLT"
  },
  "options": {
    "layers": [
      {
        "type": "marker",
        "data": "primary",
        "latitude": "> primary | seriesByName('latitude')",
        "longitude": "> primary | seriesByName('longitude')",
        "size": 12,
        "fields": {
          "REGION": "> primary | seriesByName('REGION')",
          "STATUS": "> primary | seriesByName('status')"
        },
        "dataColors": "> primary | seriesByName('status') | matchValue(colorMatchConfig)",
        "additionalTooltips": [
          "REGION",
          "STATUS"
        ],
        "resultLimit": 1000
      }
    ],
    "center": [
      47.31597438587,
      19.366742195838
    ],
    "zoom": 1.53,
    "showZoomControls": false,
    "showScale": false
  },
  "context": {
    "colorMatchConfig": [
      {
        "match": "Healthy",
        "value": "#00FF00"
      },
      {
        "match": "Critical",
        "value": "#FF0000"
      },
      {
        "match": "No Data",
        "value": "#808080"
      }
    ]
  },
  "eventHandlers": [
    {
      "type": "drilldown.setToken",
      "options": {
        "tokens": [
          {
            "token": "REGION",
            "key": "row.REGION"
          }
        ]
      }
    }
  ],
  "containerOptions": {},
  "showProgressBar": false,
  "showLastUpdated": false
}

@Srubhi The correct syntax in Dashboard Studio drilldown event handlers is row.REGION.value. You must reference the .value property of the field in the row object. This ensures that when a user clicks on a marker, the actual value of the REGION field is assigned to the token.

So, in your JSON, the event handler should be modified as below:

......................

"eventHandlers": [
...........

"tokens": [
{
"token": "REGION",
"key": "row.REGION.value"
} ]

]

Hi @Srubhi 

I think the syntax for the key is row.<fieldname>.value

therefore you need row.REGION.value not row.REGION
