Variable will not save

Tue, 11 Apr 2017 18:54:25 GMT

So I am editing a qlikview document and am trying to edit a document variable(Settings -> Document Properties/Variable Overview). I edit the variable to what I want save and close. When I reopen the file the variable is back to what it originally was. I have tried to delete the variable save/close reopen, then creating it. After doing that and reopening it will still be what it was before somehow. I have also tried disconnecting the internet and editing it but it still changes somehow.

Hi,

Check Whether the variable value is set in OnOpen trigger or Sheet activate Trigger.

Did you reload the application if so check in Script as well whether they assigned some value.

Are there any triggers who could be resetting the value of that variable perhaps applying bookmarks? Does it happen with an empty application? If so, contact Qlik Support and send them a sample app so they can reproduce the issue as soon as possible.

Can you use SET or LET to create those variables and see what happens?
