Dashboards & Visualizations

dashboard with multiple dropdown menus not working

I have created a simple dashboard with 2 dropdown menus. Selecting an item from the second menu appears to work with no results being provided. If I open the question in search, the parameter is corrupt. Rather than "text" it appears in search as "t e x t". No idea where these spaces are coming from.

hmmmm, just noticed and removed an empty delimiter element in the source, removed that and it appears to be be working now.

Yeah, been over it a number of times.
Also noticed some odd behavior with the second dropdown appearing empty. Possibly with having the 2 dropdowns using the same Static option names. Worked around it by changing the names to different values.
My issue now it with these spaces appearing in the parameters and I'm at a loss why it's happening.

Hi @rodneymckee,
did you already tried to delete and re-create the dropdown?
Then, check if there's some special char (e.g. tab) in the source.
