Hello fellow Splunk developers,
I need to use the selected labels from a multi value input in form of a token.
For a better explanation I created a short mock-up.
<form>
<label>Test</label>
<fieldset submitButton="false" autoRun="true">
<input type="multiselect" token="input" searchWhenChanged="true">
<choice value="A">1</choice>
<choice value="B">2</choice>
<choice value="C">3</choice>
<change>
<set token="selectedLabel">$label$</set>
<set token="selectedValue">$input$</set>
</change>
</input>
<input type="radio" searchWhenChanged="true">
<label>$selectedLabel$</label>
</input>
<input type="radio" searchWhenChanged="true">
<label>$selectedValue$</label>
</input>
</fieldset>
</form>
If now multiple values are selected the "selectedValue" token contains all the values selected, however the "selectedLabel" token only contains the first value selected as it can be seen in the picture below.
Is this a bug or the intended behavior? Is there a way how to store all labels inside a token?
Please note that the radio buttons serve only the purpose to show the token values in their label fields.
Hi @DaDave ,
Here's a way to get the labels and values tokens in a multiselect.
We will encode the key/values into the value field, and use conditional tags to extract the keys for the keys token and the values for the values token.
<form version="1.1">
<label>Test</label>
<fieldset submitButton="false" autoRun="true">
<input type="multiselect" token="input" searchWhenChanged="true">
<choice value="A|1">1</choice>
<choice value="B|2">2</choice>
<choice value="C|3">3</choice>
<change>
<condition match="isnull($input$)">
<unset token="selectedLabel"></unset>
<unset token="selectedValue"></unset>
</condition>
<condition>
<eval token="selectedLabel">replace($input$,"[a-zA-Z][|]","")</eval>
<eval token="selectedValue">replace($input$,"[|][0-9]","")</eval>
</condition>
</change>
</input>
<input type="radio" searchWhenChanged="true">
<label>$selectedLabel$</label>
</input>
<input type="radio" searchWhenChanged="true">
<label>$selectedValue$</label>
</input>
</fieldset>
<row><html>
<table border="1"><tr><th>Value</th><th>Label</th></tr>
<tr><td>$selectedValue$</td><td>$selectedLabel$</td></tr></table>
</html><
I've updated the values in the multiselect to be in the format: value|key
Then when the multiselect changes we extract everything before the | for the value, and everything after the | for the key.
The replace regex will be a bit more complicated when you use actual data - but the general solution should work.
