I am trying to create a dropdown menu where a user can select a city. I have the following code as the search string but it is not working.
sourcetype="support_csv" location | fields location | dedup location

I have very little experience with Splunk and need a basic how to for dropdown menus haha!

what about this:

sourcetype="support_csv" |stats count by location|fields - count

and then in your Field for Label and Field for Value, use location

Like this:

 sourcetype="support_csv" |stats count by location|sort 0 - count | fields - count

This puts the most popular locations at the top.

Try the following for Dynamic Options of the dropdown:

sourcetype="support_csv" location=*
| dedup location
| table location
