Hello,
I am trying to pass a static value to another form but not having much luck
<drilldown target="My New Window">
<link>
<![CDATA[quotes_by_broker?form.token_range=$totalQuotes>=1 AND totalQuotes<=20$&earliest=$earliest$&latest=$latest$
]]>
</link>
</drilldown>
The drilldown is called when a user clicks on a value and should load a form (which it does) and populate the token_range field which in turn is then used in a search. The reason I am trying to pass a static value is that source dashboard displays results as a single value and I would like to then display the breakdown to the user in the linked dashboard.
The problem I have is that the new dashboard / form loads but the value populated into the token_range field is $totalQuotes>
and nothing else.
I have tried adding $$ to the value but no joy.
Open to suggestions and any help is greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Alastair
I don't think you can have spaces in a link. Plus, I don't know why you put all of the $ in there...
I would try
<![CDATA[quotes_by_broker?form.token_range="totalQuotes>=1 AND totalQuotes<=20"&earliest=$earliest$&latest=$latest$
]]>
But you may have to actually encode it by replacing spaces with %20.

Hello,
Thanks for the above but I have narrowed to the issue down to the '=' sign. For some reason this is getting stripped when the text is being passed across. If I remove the '=' sign then all works but the search returns the incorrect results.
Is there a way of stopping the sign from being removed ?
Cheers.
Found it .... adding %3D fixes the issue.
