Hi,

I have a dashboard with a layer set up as the search source.

I would like to be able to configure the dashboard so that when a user searches for an area and selects one from the map's search tool, the rest of the dashboard updates.

At present, the selected polygon highlights, but it isn't properly selected so it doesn't fire the "when selection changes" action, so the user also has to click on the map, which I don't think is very intuitive.

See  this dashboard  as an example: https://cornwallcouncil.maps.arcgis.com/apps/dashboards/e8bcafb243344f9fb694490ef9b77261.

If I search for and select a parish the map updates, but the rest of the dashboard doesn't change:search_for_parish.png

To make it update I have to click in the parish on the map:

I would like it to be configured to update the rest of the dashboard when the search selection changes, but I can't find a way to make that happen.

Thanks,
Sarah
