Master measure - alternative label

It would be nice to be able to change the label of a master measure, that is used in a visualization, without breaking the link to the master measure.

Hello @avl_dlimi I have done a quick test on this and even you unlink the master item, this is temporary, and the message you get is that please, beware that once you apply a change to the master item, then it will also be reflected in all objects where this master item is being used, but once you apply the change then it is automatically linked back again.

Also, I would like to share with you a space we have in our Qlik Community where you can also open ideas for our R&D team to review them:

Hi @Patricia_Silva

I think I was unclear about my suggestion.

What I meant is that it would be nice to be able to set a custom label on the chart level, that overrules the one set in the master measure.

for example it may say 'Test1' in the master item, but i would like to change it to 'Test2' for the chart it is used in.
