Creating custom property in Qliksense extension!!!

Hi,

I want to create a custom property as in the below screenshot. It is not for dimension or expression. When user selects add / create it will add an entry as highlighted in yellow. when expanding, it should show some properties correspond to that. How to create that or is there any documentation available to learn that, Please help.

Regards,

Prabhu Appu

You can see an example here WaterfallChart/waterfall.js at master · mindspank/WaterfallChart · GitHub that produces this properties page

The official documentation for the properties definition is available here https://help.qlik.com/sense/2.0/en-us/developer/Subsystems/Extensions/Content/Overview/visualization-properties.htm

I hope that helps you get started.

Hi All,

Thanks for the reply.

But what i need is something different. In the below extension property there is a create button which is used to add category. And when we expand that there is a delete button to delete that category. I want some thing like this. I found this code from Qlikbranch CSS Menu extension.

http://branch.qlik.com/projects/showthread.php?531-Sheet-menu-for-Qlik-Sense&highlight=css+menu

I couldn't understand the code completely. They have used a type as array and one more property addTranslation: "Common.Create".

Anyone have idea on how this is created and how to use this property or any documentation for these.

cats: {

type: "array",

label: "Categories",

addTranslation: "Common.Create",

component: "CSSMenu-Cats",

ref: "cats",

.....

}

Thanks for the help.

That is undocumented and also un-supported so I would not go down that route.
