is it meant to be like this?

Hello
I'm working on Qlik Sense (February 2019)
Master Items that are not direct columns do not appear in the selections (top right)
I have a master item with the following definition:
=if(not isnull(index(CAS_CLIENT_PRIORITY,'-')) and index(CAS_CLIENT_PRIORITY,'-')>0,trim(mid(CAS_CLIENT_PRIORITY,1,index(CAS_CLIENT_PRIORITY,'-')-1)),CAS_CLIENT_PRIORITY)

and has a label of Case Client Priority

when user searches for the master item Case Client Priority, he gets nothing
but if I only put CAS_CLIENT_PRIORITY in the definition, users can search for Case Client Priority

is this how master items are supposed to act? or this is a bug in Qlik Sense?
Kindly advise

No I'm deriving the column from the definition of the master item

That's the issue , Qlik is working on adding this feature in the up coming versions . Till that please derive this column in the load script level and you will be able to use the same .

Hope this help you and resolve the issue.
