I have a top level form with two drop-downs - say Department & Employee
Department drop-down has unique dept names. Once a dept is selected, all employees in that dept get populated in the second drop-down. The values of the selected drop-down are available in $dept$ and $empname$
So far, so good.
Now, I have a panel in the dashboard that uses the above variables ($dept$, $empName)
The problem i am having is that the $dept$, $empName$ is NOT getting substituted inside the form with checkbox.
Here is my source code:
<panel>
<input type="checkbox" token="cbstring" searchWhenChanged="true">
<choice value="source=/shome/dept-emp.txt deptName=$dept$ empName=$empName$ | timechart max(somecol) ">Max</choice>
<choice value="source=/shome/dept-emp.txt deptName=$dept$ empName=$empName$ | timechart max(somecol) ">Avg</choice>
<choice value="source=/shome/dept-emp.txt deptName=$dept$ empName=$empName$ | timechart max(somecol) ">Min</choice>
<prefix> |</prefix>
<suffix> </suffix>
<!-- Each value will be surrounded by the valuePrefix and valueSuffix -->
<valuePrefix> appendcols [search </valuePrefix>
<valueSuffix> ] </valueSuffix>
<!-- All the values and their valuePrefix and valueSuffix will be concatenated together with the delimiter between them -->
<delimiter> | </delimiter>
</input>
<chart>
<searchString>"source=/shome/dept-emp.txt deptName=$dept$ empName=$empName$ | timechart max(somecol) " $cbstring$</searchString>
</chart>
</panel>
Search does not return any results as it is trying to search for "$dept$" instead of the substituted values.
I tried with $$dept$$, '$dept$' - nothing worked.
Any suggestions?
Figured it out.
Solution is to keep the variables $dept$ outside of the choice tag and use prefix. That worked

Hi vdevaryan.. I have exactly same issue... Can you please provide more details on how you resolved it?
I mean can you please share your code of using prefix for $dept$..
Thanks a lot buddy.
