Hi,

I have a dashboard that in it there is a multiselect input.
sometimes the multiselect search results only 1 result.
can I automatically choose it when there is only 1 option?

Thanks.

@matansocher, can you provide sample code for Multiselect Input?

yes, I have had that All Option, but the users wanted to see if they have only 1 value, to select it automatically

have you tried setting a default static option to All with value as * that way the multiselect automatically defaults to All options, so when there is only one option, it chooses all options? I'm not sure how your search is setup, but you might need to put the multiselect search as a subsearch in your query for that to work as a filter, in case * in the panel's search query could grab other results.
