Issue with Variable Input Object in QlikEmbed Integration

theoat — Tue, 27 Jan 2026 10:45:26 GMT

Hi Qlik team,

We would like to know when we can expect feedback or a fix regarding the Variable Input object in QlikEmbed.

We’ve used this object in most of our web developments targeting QlikEmbed, since the official Qlik documentation states that it is supported. However, it does not work as expected — while other visual objects are loading properly, Variable Input does not render at all.

Here is the code snippet we are using:

<qlik-embed
    ui="classic/chart"
    app-id="<test>"
    object-id="<IDVariableInput>"
></qlik-embed>

This integration is used on a web page to embed Qlik visualizations. Again, other charts and KPIs load fine — only the Variable Input object fails to appear.

On the web page, the following error message is displayed:

"The chart is not displayed because it contains only undefined values."

Can you confirm whether this is a known issue, or guide us on how to proceed?

Thanks in advance for your support.

We hit something similar with Variable Input in a QlikEmbed setup – it worked fine in the hub but didn’t behave the same when embedded.

What helped us as a workaround was:

Making sure the embed config actually allows interactions (not just view-only), and
Explicitly updating the variable from the embed side with the Capability/API call (e.g. app.variable.setNumValue() / setStringValue()) when the control changes.

It’s a bit more manual than using the variable object out-of-the-box, but it kept the embedded app in sync until there’s a cleaner solution for Variable Input in QlikEmbed.
