    HI Sly 

    It would be helpfull if you could share your blox-script. In your first post it sounds like the JSON is not valid (a comma to much or a ) to little and it reverts back). Seems you have fixed that. If you can share your script I can have a look at the dropdown.

        Hi Sly 

        This is incorrect:

        "filterName": "{panel:name}",
         
        It should not be dynamic it should be the name of the filter. In this case it should just be "name":
        "filterName": "name",
         
        Make sure that on a dashboard-level the filter is defined the same way
