Square brackets and url selection from Sense url dimension

qliktime — Mon, 20 Dec 2021 21:32:42 GMT

There is some documentation on url selection for sense apps here

https://help.qlik.com/en-US/sense-developer/February2020/Subsystems/APIs/Content/Sense_ClientAPIs/app-integration-api.htm

where the syntax for a text field with numeric values requires square brackets around field values

analysis/select/{field}/{[value1];[value2]}

So far it is fine if you're typing the url yourself, but I'm trying to create such links using another sense app with an URL-represented dimension. That is, I want to pass selections from one app to another.

The URL-dimension encodes square brackets as [ = %5B and ] = %5D but this is not interpreted by the other QlikSense app when clicking the link.

How do I construct a URL-represented dimension that works for selection in text fields containing numbers?

Example load script. How to create a sense table with url links that can select in "text_values" field?

NoConcatenate numeric_values: load 1 as NumericField AutoGenerate 1; load 2 as NumericField AutoGenerate 1; load 3 as NumericField AutoGenerate 1; NoConcatenate text_values: load text(NumericField) as [TextField] Resident numeric_values; ;
