Input Box - with Mapping Extension

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

Hello to all,

I am working on a qlikview app with a QlikMaps extension. A client requirement is to be able to copy and paste x amount of a field and to be able to have it mapped using back end lats/longs - for like an adhoc scenario. I was told that this can't be done on the maps directly but you can make a QV input box and use the associative data model QV is known for. My only problem, the copy and paste extension the client has isn't the greatest. If the client copies and pastes 3,000 values - they have to manually hold the delete button to clear the previous search (you can't select all). Is there a known extension or solution to help my app. All in all, I need help creating a fully functional input box that can be cleared easily for the client's ease of use that will link to my mapping extension.

Thanks so much

Do you know what the name of the extension they are using ?

I have this one installed locally , but not sure if its different to what you are using.

It's called Copy and Paste extension. What was your scenario?

It was from this demo app:

Hit the 'trades and positions' tab to see it in action.

Thanks a lot Jonathan, this helped out perfectly. I feel as though this is something Qlikview should add into the native files initially and shouldn't be an extension. Maybe in the next version if they're reading this. Thanks again mate cheers
