Change default script to add include when create a new app

Fuxor — Mon, 17 Jul 2023 07:14:02 GMT

Hi folks,

A customer would like to change the default script when creating an new application.
He wants to add some include by default.

I don't know if it's possible, i have not found anything on the subject. Do you guys know if it's possible ?

I have more than 500 apps on production that need to add this include, can we modify script inside .QVF app directly ?

Thanks

Hi @Fuxor,

Are you referring to editing the load script for Qlik Sense apps? If yes, then yes it is possible to edit the load script to add additional code. Refer to the Qlik Sense Help entry Loading and transforming data with scripting. If not, the please provide more clarity. Thanks!

Best Regards

As far as I know, these are derived from the system settings on the Qlik Sense server and cannot be changed in other ways.

You can modify the script in existing apps using API, I believe. Have a look at the subsections of:
