Qlikview embedded URL's

Hello,

Experiencing a new issue we've had in production for years.

Since we upgraded to May 2021 SR2 the embedded URL's aren't working inside our Qlikview dashboards.
They are implemented as such:- ='Name' & '<url>' & 'Link'
Real example:- PIL_InvoiceID & '<URL>' & PIL_InvoiceImageURL
The above is implemented inside a straight table. I also tried putting the URL in to an action on a text object. This also doesn't work.
The experience is that the cursor changes to a hand, you click and nothing happens. No pop up blocked, no attempt whatsoever to open the link.
This has been working on versions prior to our May 2021 SR2 upgrade.
I can expose the URL and copy and paste that in to an address bar and it works.

I've tried the May 2022 initial release version in a dev environment that came out this month and I'm having the same problem.

Anyone else experiencing the same issue / know of a possible solution?

Thanks,
Ben

Hi Ben,

I have just tested this and I see no issues. Please see attached video and QVW for your testing.

Hi Bill,

Thanks for the reply and effort!

Upon further testing, I've found that the issue is present only inside Citrix when using the Qlikview plugin.
So it works in AccessPoint for example. But when embedded inside our application, then linked through to via the plugin, the links don't work.

When upgrading Qlikview, I'm also upgrading the Qlikview plugin on the Citrix servers too.
This has been out upgrade path for the last 10 years.

So this isn't new to us. The Qlikview Server and plugin are both upgraded and present.

Any further assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Ben
