How to add severity to fetched errors messages?

Hi All,

I am trying to add severity column to output of first command, could you please let me know how to do it.

Query I have created is :

index=abc source=xyz | table _time ID STATUS ERROR_Name
| search ERROR_Name IN
("EndDate must be after StartDate""The following is required: PersonName" ....many others)
| join type=inner ID[search index=abc source=xyz STATUS IN (FATAL,SUCCESS)
| table _time ID STATUS
| stats latest(STATUS) as STATUS by ID
| search STATUS IN (FATAL) | fields ID]
| stats latest(STATUS) as STATUS by ID ERROR_Name
| search STATUS IN (FATAL) | top 50 ERROR_Name | appendcols [| eval severity = case(ERROR_Name=="EndDate must be after StartDate", "One", ERROR_Name=="The following is required: PersonName", "two")]

appendcols is not the answer in so many cases - just create a new field (column) with the eval command

index=abc source=xyz | table _time ID STATUS ERROR_Name
| search ERROR_Name IN
("EndDate must be after StartDate""The following is required: PersonName" ....many others)
| join type=inner ID[search index=abc source=xyz STATUS IN (FATAL,SUCCESS)
| table _time ID STATUS
| stats latest(STATUS) as STATUS by ID
| search STATUS IN (FATAL) | fields ID]
| stats latest(STATUS) as STATUS by ID ERROR_Name
| search STATUS IN (FATAL) | top 50 ERROR_Name 
| eval severity = case(ERROR_Name=="EndDate must be after StartDate", "One", ERROR_Name=="The following is required: PersonName", "two")
