How to make a search run or populate a dropdown if condition is met using simple xml?

[dreamwork801]

So I have a dropdown called Repository, that populates a search and another dropdown called Namespace that has set choices. I only want there to be options if a certain Repository, "strawman" is chosen. Is there a way I can do that with populating search for the Namespace option? Here is my Simple XML, also the company I work for is really big on security so I can't do any Javascript and I'd rather stick to Simple XML

<input type="dropdown" token="repository" searchWhenChanged="true">
  <label>Repository:</label>
  <default>strawman</default>
  <choice value="*">Any</choice>
  <populatingSearch fieldForValue="repository" fieldForLabel="repository">
    <![CDATA[index = git earliest="01/01/2009:20:00:00" latest=now() |table Data.payload.repository.name | dedup Data.payload.repository.name | sort Data.payload.repository.name | rename Data.payload.repository.name AS repository]]>
  </populatingSearch>
</input>
<input type="dropdown" token="namespace" searchWhenChanged="true">
  <label>Namespace: (Strawman Rep. Only)</label>
  <default>*</default>
  <choice value="*">Any</choice>
  <choice value="Payments/">Payments</choice>
  <choice value="Invoicing/">Invoicing</choice>
  <choice value="Network/">Networking</choice>
</input>

Or is there a way I can have my searches just wildcard the $namespace$ option if $repository$ doesn't equal "strawman"?

Here is my search:

Index=git OR index=git "Data.payload.head_commit.modified{}" = "*$namespace$*"  "Data.payload.head_commit.modified{}" = "*$file$*" "Data.payload.head_commit.modified{}" = "*$extension$" "Data.payload.repository.name" = "*$repository$*" | table Data.payload.head_commit.committer.name |stats count by Data.payload.head_commit.committer.name | dedup Data.payload.head_commit.committer.name |  sort by -count | rename Data.payload.head_commit.committer.name as "Committer Name" | head 20

Try this as your Namespace dropdown xml

<input type="dropdown" token="namespace" searchWhenChanged="true">
  <label>Namespace: (Strawman Rep. Only)</label>
  <default>*</default>
  <choice value="*">Any</choice>
  <populatingSearch fieldForValue="namespace" fieldForLabel="namespace">
    <![CDATA[|gentimes start=-1 | eval repository="strawman" | table repository 
| eval namespace="Payments Invoicing Networking" | makemv namespace | mvexpand namespace
| where repository="$repository$"]]>
  </populatingSearch>
</input>

Hi
i've got a similar scenario where i am trying to store current timestamp (EPOCH) into a KVStore.
however i cant seem to get it working.Some help will be appreciated

// Create Search manger to get current timestamp EPOCH TIME 
        var timestamp_search = new SearchManager({
            "id": "timestamp_search",
            "status_buckets": 0,
            "latest_time": "$latest$",
            "search": "| stats count as timestamp | eval timestamp = now()",
            "earliest_time": "$earliest$",
            "cancelOnUnload": true,
            "app": utils.getCurrentApp(),
            "auto_cancel": 90,
            "preview": true,
            "runWhenTimeIsUndefined": false
        }, {tokens: true});

// retrieve data from search manager      
            var  timestamp_search_obj = timestamp_search.data("preview");
            timestamp_search_obj.on("data", function() {
        var  timestamp_search_result =  timestamp_search_obj.data().rows;
             });

// Create a dictionary to store the field names and values
    var record = { 
                "time-stamp": timestamp_search_result
          };

What version of Splunk are you using?

[dreamwork801]

No I do not

[somesoni2]

Do you have a submit button in your form/dashboard?

Hey that works great! Thank you! The only slight problem is if I choose "strawman" as the Repository and then choose a Namespace, but then I change the Repository to something else, the Namespace option populates no results as it should, but none of my other searches produce results because I think the searches still have a Namespace option filled out, when it should be "*". So basically how do I have it reset back to default? If possible

Is there any solution provided?
