Hi @random_user_3869

Add selection to sheet is a block used within Qlik Reporting services.

https://help.qlik.com/en-US/cloud-services/Subsystems/Hub/Content/Sense_Hub/Reporting/Create-reporting-service-report.htm#anchor-3
Reporting from Qlik Cloud
Within this block you can add a specific dimension value to slice the output to the date related to a specific dimension value.

Select Field Value is an application automation block (which performs similarly to the Qlik Reporting 'add selection to sheet' block ) which can be used with Application Automation requirements exclusively ie: if you do not require granular PDF distribution that is possible with Qlik Reporting services.

@PietMichielRappelet

Do you have more add to this?
I was unable to find the help page for the "Select Field Value" block.

Kind regards...
