Hi

In a MultiSelect is there any way to us a wild character?

My Data

XYC_123
EOD_1234
EOD_23232
EOD_343434
aassss_34343

So, i would like to pick all the EOD so (Star)EOD(Star).

I can put this in manually, however, I want to do it dynamically from the search box.
I want to put in (Star)ANYTHING(Star)

The easy solution to this is the option "allowCustomValues" on a multiselect. With this, you can input custom values that can include a wildcard.

<input type="multiselect" token="multi_tok">
<label>multi with custom values</label>
<fieldForLabel>sourcetype</fieldForLabel>
<fieldForValue>sourcetype</fieldForValue>
<search>
<query>| tstats count where index=_internal by sourcetype</query>
<earliest>-60m@m</earliest>
<latest>now</latest>
</search>
<allowCustomValues>true</allowCustomValues>
</input>
