      <choice value="Green">Green</choice>

The timeframe you showed (which I removed) applies to the search to dynamically populate the dropdown. Since you don't have a search to populate the dropdown (as shown by your error message), you don't need the timeframe here. You can still use the time in other parts of your dashboard.
