How to create a drilldown

Hello everyone,
I am trying to create a simple hiding drill down panel.
With below search:

index=_internal |stats dc(user) as uniqueusers by sourcetype host 

Which gives below table:

sourcetype host uniqueusers
aaaa ccc 4
bbbbb ddddd 2

When a user clicks on uniquesusers value for example 4 it should show a new panel below with list of 4 uniqueuser names.

Try this :

<dashboard>
  <label>test</label>
  <row>
    <panel>
      <table>
        <search>
          <query>index=_*|stats dc(user) as user  by sourcetype host source</query>
          <earliest>-15m</earliest>
          <latest>now</latest>
        </search>
        <drilldown>
          <set token="show_panel">true</set>
          <set token="user">$click.value2$</set>
          <set token="source">$row.source$</set>
          <set token="host">$row.host$</set>
        </drilldown>

It’s only working for the first value of the user column.
For other values in that column it’s showing no data. Can you please look into it.

It's working for me for each value of the user column. create a new dashboard and copy-paste entire XML.
