Splunk Search

How do I submit a radio button search with a submit button without changing the Time Picker?

I am using simple XML and I need to submit a search I have defined in a radio button. I need to do this with a Submit button without changing the Time Picker. Currently, I can make the radio button selection and change the Time Picker, and THEN the Submit button and get a result. What I NEED to do is re-initiate the search without changing the time picker.

How can I accomplish this?

The following is a snip of the XML code:

<form>
  <label>AppName</label>
  <description>WhatItDoes</description>
  <fieldset submitButton="true">
    <input type="radio" token="field1" searchWhenChanged="false">
      <label>Anomaly Type</label>
      <choice value="foo1">Foo1</choice>
      <choice value="foo2">Foo2</choice>
      <choice value="">None</choice>
      <search>
        <query>| script $field1$</query>
        <earliest>0</earliest>
      </search>
      <fieldForLabel>test</fieldForLabel>
      <fieldForValue>test</fieldForValue>
    </input>
    <input type="time" token="field2">
      <label></label>
      <default>
        <earliest></earliest>
        <latest></latest>
      </default>
    </input>
  </fieldset>

Hi,

I did the Dashboard below and in my case it is worked fine. For your question, only marking the searchWhenChanged parameter for false it is should be run. By the way, I put the text input instead radio button and put the searchWhenChanged = true for this.

<fieldset submitButton="true">
<input type="time" token="datetime" searchWhenChanged="false">
<input type="text" token="channel" searchWhenChanged="true">

Governance

<input type="time" token="datetime" searchWhenChanged="false">
  <label>Date-Time</label>
  <default>
    <earliest>-5m</earliest>
    <latest>now</latest>
  </default>
</input>
<input type="text" token="channel" searchWhenChanged="true">
  <label>channel</label>
  <search>
    <query>my_query</query>
    <earliest>-15m</earliest>
    <latest>now</latest>
  </search>
  <fieldForLabel>channel</fieldForLabel>
  <fieldForValue>channel</fieldForValue>
  <default>*</default>
</input>


<panel>
  <chart>
    <search>
      <query>index=* $channel$ | stats count by application | head 10</query>
      <earliest>$datetime.earliest$</earliest>
      <latest>$datetime.latest$</latest>
    </search>
