Is it possible to populate values and pass to a search pipeline based on a lookup value? (Without using JS)

[esix_splunk]

I'd like to have a simple XML dropdown that selects, as an example a Device Name.

deviceName,Vendor,Model
mainfw,Cisco,asa5510
branch1,Cisco,asa5505
branch2,Cisco,asa5505

So when the user selects the deviceName from the drop down and all the variables (or select variables in the lookup) will be passed to the search pipeline :

index=blah deviceName=$deviceName$ vendor=$Vendor$ model=$Model$

I can do this currently with auto-populating searches and selectFirstChoice in the input. However, there are some issues with this, such as when the user changes the inputs, if the nested values are wrong then the search wont populate properly.

I'm wondering if there is a way to do this in 6.3 or 6.4 without:

1) Using JS
2) Exposing the additional drop down / input selects to the end user..

TIA

Yeah, this is actually possible use a <change> event handler on the form input. Here's an example:

<input type="dropdown" token="country_code">
  <search>
    <query>| inputlookup geo_attr_countries.csv</query>
  </search>
  <fieldForLabel>country</fieldForLabel>
  <fieldForValue>iso3</fieldForValue>
  <change>
    <set token="continent">$row.continent$</set>
  </change>
</input>

In this example a token called $continent$ is set on every change of the form input and the value is taken from the same row of the search result (in this case the continent field).
