When does the Input Label differ from the Value - Dashboard Studio?

[nmssa]

Hello all,

I have been using Splunk's classic dashboard for a while now and I switched to dashboard studio, one thing I can't seem to figure out is when I need to have different values of labels from the value actually used by the token.

Say the data source of a dropdown is an SQL query with 2 columns, one I want to use as the label (aka value displayed to the user), the other as the token's actual value, is that possible?

If it helps in classic dashboard it is done via

<fieldForLabel>name</fieldForLabel>
<fieldForValue>age</fieldForValue>

Any ideas?

Thank you very much!

yes I think that would do but how'd you get the extra panel?

I am using Splunk 9.0.1 - which version are you using?

[nmssa]

Ohh I'm using 8.2.4, makes sense. Thank you tho much appreciated!

To be fair, even though 9.0.1 has better support for Studio Dashboards, there are still capabilities missing when compared to Classic / SimpleXML Dashboards - personally, I don't use Studio for anything beyond very simple dashboards (yet).

Oh I see, in all honesty if I didn't need connectors and shapes I would've just stuck to classic dashboards
