Qlik Script as option in "Insert/Edit code sample"

davidhechler — Mon, 13 Nov 2023 13:30:02 GMT

In the forum (right here), we have the possibility to insert code snippets by clicking the button "Insert/Edit code sample":

However, there is no option to choose Qlik Script as an option:

Adding Qlik Script as an option would make a lot of sense.

PS: I tried creating a suggestion on https://community.qlik.com/t5/Ideation/ct-p/qlik-product-insight, but after clicking on "Suggest Features", I was forwarded (looped) to the same page.

Thanks for the suggestion. I am aware of this possibility, but then it does not use Qlik syntax highlighting. What is the point of inserting it as code, without using the proper syntax highlighting?

What I would like to see:

What I am seeing, if using HTML:

SPSActivityClassBase: LOAD SPSActivityClassBase_Recipient As %SPSActivityClassBase_Recipient, SPSActivityClassBase_RecipientRole As %SPSActivityClassBase_RecipientRole, SPSActivityClassBase_TicketNumber, SPSActivityClassBase_Subject FROM [$(DataConnectionQlikshare)/SPSActivityClassBase.qvd](qvd); Left Keep(SPSActivityClassBase) SPSUserClassBase: LOAD SPSUserClassBase_ID As %SPSActivityClassBase_Recipient, SPSUserClassBase_Company, SPSUserClassBase_Department FROM [$(DataConnectionQlikshare)/SPSUserClassBase.qvd](qvd); Left Keep(SPSActivityClassBase) SPSScRoleClassBase_SPSSecurityClassRole: LOAD SPSScRoleClassBase_ID As [%SPSActivityClassBase_RecipientRole], SPSSecurityClassRole_Name FROM [$(DataConnectionQlikshare)/SPSScRoleClassBase_SPSSecurityClassRole.qvd](qvd);

There is no syntax highlighting at all.
