Using URL parameters to set input. Conditions with match not setting tokens.
I have a link on one dashboard
<html>
<a href="....._dashboard?form.dcCell=$dcCell$&form.rhel=$rhel$&form.field1.earliest=$field1.earliest$&form.field1.latest=$field1.latest$">PRD Dashboard</a>
</html>The link is filling out correctly. When I click it and go to the target dashboard, the inputs are being set correctly, but the tokens are not being set at all.
Target dashboard
<fieldset submitButton="false" autoRun="true">
<input type="dropdown" token="rhel" searchWhenChanged="true">
<label>RHEL Server</label>
<choice value="rhel6">RHEL 6</choice>
<choice value="rhel8">RHEL 8</choice>
<change>
<condition match="match($rhel$,"rhel6") AND match($dcCell$, "allE")">
<set token="use_jcs">True</set>
<set token="use_hikari">True</set>
</condition>
<condition match="match($rhel$,"rhel8") AND match($dcCell$, "allE")">
<set token="use_hikari">True</set>
<unset token="use_jcs"></unset>
When using the drop downs, everything works fine. It's only when i try to put the parameters in the url, does it break. I have even tried using the drop downs and the copying the url it generates on the browser and going directly to that. It still does not set the tokens. What am I missing?

Try using token modifiers
<html>
<a href="....._dashboard?form.dcCell=$dcCell|n$&form.rhel=$rhel|n$&form.field1.earliest=$field1.earliest|n$&form.field1.latest=$field1.latest|n$">PRD Dashboard</a>

The URL is not the issue. It's the target dashboard not determining the tokens. I have used the exact URL that changing the dropdowns produces in the browser URL and it still doesn't work. I know the URL works correctly because the dropdowns are changing based off of the URL, but the tokens inside the "condition" statements are not being calculated.

It looks like the change handler for the dropdown is not triggered when the dashboard loads. You could try using a hidden text input to relay the change.
