selectionState API not updating on time

Madeleine — Mon, 15 Jun 2020 06:38:26 GMT

Hi, I implemented a Mashup. The underlying Qlik Sense App uses alternate States. I want to display the selections. As far as I know the getList method for the SelectionObject doesn't give me the data for alternative states, that's why I'm using the selectionState method(app.selectionState(alternatestate).selections). The problem is that the output isn't updating on time. For example when I do a selection in field A then the selections aren't updating. Then I select something in another field and my selection list shows the selections for field A. The new selections aren't displayed. I implemented a function in the controller to get the selection. Have I implemented the function at the wrong place or is there another method to get the selections for alternate states?

Hi @Madeleine ,

Are you binding a listener? ex:

const selState = app.selectionState(alternateState); const listener = function() { console.log(selState); }; selState.OnData.bind( listener ); //bind the listener

Could you post a code snippet so we can better understand the issue?

Thanks a lot 🙂 now it works, the data binding part was missing.
