Hi, my page string :

<form>
  <panel>
    <search>
      <query>
        index=_internal earliest=-1h
       |stats c
      </query>
      <preview>
        <set token="to_display">$result.c$</set>
      </preview>
    </search>
    <html>
      <h1>total: $to_display$</h1>
    </html>
  </panel>
</form>

when query excuted, on the xml page will correctly display the 'stats count value' as total:200
but before that , when the token is not set yet, it shows total:$to_display$ directly for a while then changes to its value, could i hide the token name or set it with a default value such as "-" ?
