Hi @Keerthi,

in the results of the search you are using to populate the dropdown, there are some duplicated values, so you have to dedup your results fo the field that you're using for displaying.

If you could share your dropdown search I could be more detailed.

Ciao.

Hi @Keerthi,

you have to dedup for the firld that you display, in the first search you dedup for two fields. so it could be possible that you have duplicated values for the displayed field.

Insteda in the second search, I don't see any dedup command.

Add a dedup row dedupping for the field to display.

Ciao.

 @Keerthi ,

you need only the dedup for the field to listù, the other dedup isn't required.

in few words, you should run something like this:

<your_search>
| dedup Time
| sort Time
| table Time

Ciao.
