Dependent dropdown auto population

ND
Path Finder

Hello All,

I am new to Splunk and JavaScript as well.

I need help to auto-populate the dropdown list value based on other dropdown values selected.

consider, I have 3 fields Country, State, City which are interdependent on each other.

I am able to populate a dynamic dropdown list(for 2 fields like State & City) on the selection of another dropdown (Country).

Now I want to auto-populate values of State and Country on the selection of any City. Values should be directly displayed in the drop-down box. there should not be a need to select it from the dropdown. As for City, State & Country is going to be unique values.

Thanks in Advance!!!

      <search base="base_csv">
        <query>| search Capital="$field1$"

      </search>
    </input>
  </fieldset>
  <row>
    <panel>
      <table>
        <search base="base_csv">
          <query>| search state_code="$field2$"</query>
        </search>
      </table>
    </panel>
  </row>
</form>

this is sample code.
You can do something like this without using javascript.
