Hi,

In time series visual builder I created a table with the first column displaying string values. The data for which comes from field name called 'cities'.

Next I modified the Item Url field under Panel Options to enter "[https://www.google.com/](https://www.google.com/)". Now when I click on any of the strings in the first column it takes me to [https://www.google.com/](https://www.google.com/) as desired.

Next I tried to leverage the {{key}} mustache template and modified Item Url to replace the google link with "[https://www.somesite.com/country=usa&place={{cities}](https://www.somesite.com/country=usa&place=%7B%7Bcities%7D)}", where cities is the field name populating the first column. This does not work. I see an error which says - error: "cities" not defined in [object Object]

Any suggestions on what's wrong with my usage?  
Using version 6.6.2

Thanks

Does `https://www.somesite.com/country=usa&place={{key}}` work? I tried something similar in 7.2. I think `{{key}}` in the instructions needs to be taken literally here. 🙂

Using `{{key}}` in the instructions literally worked. 🙂  
Thanks for the help.
