Qlik appends '#' when .Clear() Javascript API function used. Bug?

Anonymous — Mon, 26 Jan 2026 16:26:21 GMT

Hello All,

Let's say we have an application 'NoConnectionIssue.qvw' available via this URL:

The app contains the extension object displaying one single link to invoke 'Clear All' function.

It's achieved by the following Javascript code: Qv.GetCurrentDocument().Clear();

Now, when I click this link for the first time Qlik appends the '#' sign to the original URL.

So, in case of our example it will look like this:

If I reload the app now (F5 or Ctrl+F5) I'd get the error message 'No Connection', which is correct since the URL is incorrect.

I tried to find a similar post on community with no luck.

I hope there is someone who had to deal with the issue before and knows how to fix it. If not then I shall raise it as a bug with QlikTech.

Please, see attached files for the example files: NoConnectionIssue.qvw app, NoConnection.qar extension object.

Many thanks in advance for your help.
