Getting Data In

Duplicate default value loading in dropdown - multiselect

Hi All,

I have a dropdown multi-select created using dashboard studio with default value set as "All".  This All is nothing but the static value set under menu configuration.

Label - "All"
Value - *

Query used : 

index=test sourcetype="billing_test" productcode="testcode"
 | fields account_id account_name cluster namespace pod cost
 | search account_id IN ($account_id$) AND clustername IN ($cluster$) AND account_name IN ($account_name$) | stats count by namespace

But when I click on this multi-select dropdown it is loading another "All" as value together with the default value I have set.

@ITWhisperer  : I tried this as well, directly passing the value. Still same

Make sure that you reopen the modified dashboard in a new tab/window otherwise existing token values may get carried forward

Change your default value to be the value not the label

"defaultValue": "*",
