Action Macro doesn't work on Ajax mode

Mon, 26 Jan 2026 18:19:17 GMT

I have setup an action on a listbox. When the list box is activated, it will trigger an action to change varaible or run a macro to change a vaiable value. The variable is a flag to switch between different charts. For example, if user select month, QV will display a bar chart with month data. If user select week, QV will display a table to display week data.

The above function works well in Plug-in model. But when it is changed to ajax, the action is not trigged. And I have tested to trigger the macro by pressing a button, it works. But it is too boring to let user press a button each time when user do some selection.

I am using QV9 SR2. does anyone know why the action doesn't work on ajax? any idea is appreciate. thanks a lot.

I am having a similar problem with QV10 (SR1 / 8811 build).

I will attach a simplified example. Works perfectly in desktop / development mode but the 3rd variable never changes at all in Ajax.

Simplified example. 3 variables. First two are changed via actions on the two buttons; 3rd is changed via a document-level trigger on the other two variables. In Desktop / development mode, it works perfectly. When published and opened in Ajax client, 3rd variable never changes.

Have you allowed "Unsafe macros" on QlikView Server? It is in the system settings.
