Add master dimension to chart with API

[GustavLindstrom]

I'd like to add a master dimension or measures to a master visualisation chart though an API. I've looked at the get and set properties api calls in the Engine API. But with that aproche you need to recreae all of the chart properties, a big json. Is there any call that is similar to pushing the add measure button in the GUI?

[GustavLindstrom]

More generally speaking what is the best way to work with the chart properties?

What add dimension/measure botton does is calling SetProperties method behind the scene passing the entire json object with the addition of your dimension/measure added with the button itself.

I don't see any other way of doing this, you have to use GetProperties and SetProperties methods

Thank you for the reply. Do you know if there is any way to se the api calls Qlik Sense makes and also possibly the code men pushing the add button?

Use the network tab of developer browser tool. Then, inspect WS messages and there you can see what happen behind the scenes
