I use Qlik Sense version 3.0.0. Changes made to apps, like editing variables, deleting variables, editing measures are occassionally lost. Sometimes it happens when the app is reloaded. Sometimes it is enough to reload the browser after a while (or a longer while). I am curious if somebody else experiences this and if there is something that can be identified as a cause for such a behaviour.
I am not using Edge, but almost always have multiple browsers open when developing - sometimes on two different machines. I think this could well be the cause of the issue.
I have tried to get into the habit of closing tabs before Publishing, and have not experienced the problem recently.
I believe that you are correct about having multiple tabs open. I have experienced this myself, and it seems to happen when I have multiple tabs tied to the same app iopen at the same time. I believe the system loses focus on which tab contains the latest changes.
I do notice that sometimes when I am in the Load Editor and a sheet within an app at the same time, and then make a change in the sheet that it does not automatically save. I have found that if I make a change and then toggle over to the Data Load Editor that the save button is black indicating that I need to save the changes or else lose them even if I made no changes in the Data Load Editor. Not sure if this could be occurring in your situations, but it is what I have found to happen in my case. As long as I hit the save button I am golden otherwise I lose the changes I made in the sheet to a report. Hope this helps.
That's bonkers. Qlik should let you know that a conflict has been created, and both versions of the dashboard should be saved for review. That cannot be the accepted functionality, that you can unknowingly erase hours of work. I can't believe my whole afternoon of work has just been erased, because I had the load editor open on another tab.
