Hello,

I'm surprised nobody posted this idea before.

I would like to create the master dimension and measure from the script, just like we can create variable. Why?

 1/this allows to centralize the master items definition in a file, easy to share between app, etc.
 2/ in script, you can do some check on the consistency of the items with the model, helping to build more robust items.

Best regards,

Simon

There is a workaround for this, and it is using SSEs. I'm internally using @rwunderlich 's solution: qcb-qlik-sse

Thank you for your feedback on ways to improve our product. While this is something we understand would be useful, it's not on the short-term roadmap. Please continue to show your support for this idea.

Thanks,

Hi Patric!

Use there any update on this? This is a very essential feature, i would say it should be included by default. Dozens of app use same master measures. It is getting very hard to support this. Any new app i create gives me a lot of pain - i have to recreate all measures manually.

Thanks

Since you have the ability to rename fields to meaningful names using the Rename field mapping table the next obvious step would be to have the option to also create master dimensions from those meaningful names rather than having to individually go through creating Master Dimensions from those meaningful names manually.
