Accessing the underlying data model from within the extension

If anyone has a solution to this question, help would be much appreciated. We have a robust web app built in QlikView, and it is not feasible to manually load in data to the extension in the Definition.xml file.

You can any data values or meta data from the model using enigma.js (engine API). See here for an explanation:

Does this work in QlikView, or only QlikSense?

Sorry, I missed that this was QlikView!
