PARSER: Applying intentions failed 'unicode' object has no attribute 'get'

Question

(NOTE - I have read other similar posts and solutions have not helped)

I have a created a dashboard with 2 text boxes for a search. The default value if nothing enetered is "*".

This worked well until i needed to add a radio button to the search options and i was forced to convert to advanced XML.

Now i have converted all works well if i leacve text boxes empty and the search uses the *, but if anything entered into text boxes i get the error below:

PARSER: Applying intentions failed 'unicode' object has no attribute 'get'

'unicode' object has no attribute 'get' on Splunk Answers This one states to add the line

<param name="value"></param>

This does not fix issue. It also says to change the order round- this does nto seem to work either! my code:

 <module name="ExtendedFieldSearch">
      <param name="replacementMap">
        <param name="arg">
          <param name="Group"/>
              </param>
          </param>
      <param name="field">Enter ’Group' name</param>
      <param name="intention">
        <param name="name">stringreplace</param>
        <param name="arg">
          <param name="Group">
            <param name="default">*</param>
            <param name="fillOnEmpty">True</param>
          </param>
        </param>
      </param>

      <module name="ExtendedFieldSearch">
        <param name="replacementMap">
          <param name="arg">
            <param name="UserAddedRemoved"/>
                </param>
        </param>
        <param name="field">Enter 'Username'</param>
        <param name="intention">
          <param name="name">stringreplace</param>
          <param name="arg">
            <param name="UserAddedRemoved">
              <param name="default">*</param>
              <param name="fillOnEmpty">True</param>
            </param>
          </param>
        </param>

let me know if you need more?

Please do not just point me to another post as none of them clearly identify what needs changing

Accepted Answer

The question you linked has the answer. In the replacementMap sections, where your XML says


<param name="UserAddedRemoved"/>

you need to change it to


<param name="UserAddedRemoved">
  <param name="value"></param>
</param>

It's not just adding the value param line; you have to remove the trailing / from the name=UserAddedRemoved line to ensure the value definition is part of the correct parent block. Same goes for the Group replacement map section. I copied your XML into a test view and verified that it worked with these changes. (It also wanted me to add a layoutPanel parameter to the ExtendedFieldSearch module definition, but that's a quick fix.)
