adjust selection of input QVD in data manager not showing anything

hello!

we are currently investigating qlikcloud analytics for business users to create thier own apps. the data manager is one of the first steps required to build an app in a no/low-code way.

we want them to be able to load data from QVDs we provide in the IT department to a managed space based on semi-complex scheduleing etc.

now the problem:

you start to develop the app in your personal space and add data in form of QVDs from the managed space

once you added a qvd with the datamanager and un-ticked some columns, it seems there is no way to add data again in the datamanager using the button "select data from source", the popup just shows no data at all 😞

is this a known issue? did we do something wrong?

"Select data from source" is working for me - I get a table with all columns and am able to select more of them and then update my report. I don't see how this is a user error (?) - probably something to report to support

ok, i managed to reproduce it. it depends on whether you add it from the "data catalog" or from "files and other sources". I forgot the way i used to initially add these qvds...

if you use "files and other sources" it works just fine and you can edit the data again.

if you use the "data catalog" to add the qvd, it breaks and you can never select anything from the qvd again.

the qvds i access, are in a shared space in a folder two levels deep.

if you check the auto generated section in the load script, they don't show any difference, as to what was the way for the data to be added to the app

[dm1_b_vertriebshierarchie_snapshot]: LOAD fields FROM [lib://RBSPK FACTS Analysis ETL DEV:DataFiles/common/qvd/dm1_b_vertriebshierarchie_snapshot.qvd] (qvd); [dm1_d_neuabschluss]: LOAD fields FROM [lib://RBSPK FACTS Analysis ETL DEV:DataFiles/common/qvd/dm1_d_neuabschluss.qvd] (qvd);

i've reached out to support yesterday via the chatbot but had to leave then before i could get a satisfying answer 😞

it was forwarded to R&D and seems to be a defect.
