Splunk Enterprise Security

How can I customize notable events created by a custom application?

I've written some Correlation Searches in Enterprise Security and saved them in a custom app: "SA-Custom". I've chosen Notable event as the adaptive response and filled in some amount of detail: Title, Drill-down search, etc.

The searches run fine and generate Notable events, but none of the detail I've written comes through to the Incident Response dashboard, and all of my alerts are completely blank except for the title, which is in the format " Access - nameofsearch - Rule", not the title I specified in the Notable Event settings.

Is there something missing that's keeping my adaptive response settings from taking effect when the notable event is generated?

@khagan, you might want to review (if possible) what got saved in the savedsearches.conf file (and if pre-4.7.x, also correlationsearches.conf) related to the notable event adaptive response action, and compare it to some default notable event settings.
I wonder if something wasn't saved properly on the backend.

If the issue were just specific fields not showing up, I'd suggest looking here: http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/ES/4.7.2/Admin/Customizenotables#Change_notable_event_fields but this seems like a bigger issue. Please let me know what you find!
