Hi all, stalwar1
I'm using QLIK SENSE (not qlikview)
I want to do this :
1) I have a variable : let's call it vTest. It's created in the front end.
2) I want to have an input box in which I can enter a new commentary and thus edit the value of the vCommentary variable.
For this, I've used this extension:
3) Now I'm able to define my new variable and show that I can use it in a table for example; it does change; it's obvious in this table below:
4) Now I want to stock these 2 variables into 2 fields and store them into an external file:
var:
Load
'$(vTest)' as Commentaire,
'$(vIntervenant)' as Intervenant
AutoGenerate(1);
store var into [lib://test/Nouveau document texte.txt]
(txt);
This won't work BECAUSE, when I change the variable value using extensions, I does not change here :
My question is HOW TO DO THIS?
How to make my change persist? I can see that the variable has changed in my table; but the change is not written within the variable so I can't use it in my script!
Is there a way to do this?
modifying a variable value in the front end in a sort an inputBox and use this variable in the script?
Second question:
Is it possible to store a table from Qlik Sense into a database table?
sthing like this:
store var into [lib://test/Nouveau document texte.txt]
(txt);
but in a database not a file?
As Steve mentioned for an answer to why that extension object does not populate the variable into the script I suggest posting the question to the developer in qlik branch, its not something built by Qlik. In the API help you can find more information about the Engine API and variable creation Create a variable ‒ Qlik Sense
