Dynamic Filter year(today()) does not work in all apps

Hi,

I do have two apps (App A and App B), both using the same MasterCalendar.

 

App A: If I apply a filter on field Year: =Year=year(today()) it filters 2026

App B: If I  apply the same filter on the field, qlik is not able to find a match.

 

I already reduced the script in both apps to be 100% identical:

$(Must_Include=lib://MYFOLDER/Includes/Main.txt);

Calendar:
LOAD
	*
FROM [lib://MYFOLDER/Calendar.QVD]
(qvd);

 

So I do have two Apps that do have identical data and still the dynamic filter only works in one of the two apps.

What might be the issue here?

Hey,

I found the source of the problem myself. Someone had created a variable that was called Year (exact same name as the field name).

 

Deleting this variable solved the problem.

Interesting issue. Dynamic date filters can behave differently across apps depending on the data model and field expressions. Thanks for sharing the details and solution.
