Selections not retained after background reload via QMC
After upgrading to Qlik Sense Nov 2025, I noticed that my app selections are no longer retained when the app reloads in the background through the QMC. This issue did not occur in earlier versions, where selections were preserved without any problem. I would like to know if this behavior is a bug introduced in the Nov 2025 release. Has anyone else faced a similar issue?
I’ve seen this happen too, and it’s usually related to how Qlik handles background reloads. When the QMC runs a reload in the background, the app is basically unloaded and reloaded in memory, so any active user session gets refreshed — which means selections won’t be kept.
If a user is in the app while the reload completes, their session reconnects to the new in-memory version, and that automatically clears whatever they selected before.
A few things that generally help:
Try scheduling reloads for times when users aren’t actively in the app.
Make sure the reload doesn’t change field structures, since that also forces sessions to reset.
If users need to keep their selections, encourage them to save a bookmark before reloads.
It’s a limitation of how Qlik manages sessions around reloads, not something you’re doing wrong.
