Extension Master Item Manager

Hi guys.

I'm using the Master Item Manager extension and have some problems.

I have variables and functions in my metric description, for example:

Sum of sales M-0

I modified the extension to concatenate the complete expression, being as follows:

description = "='" + row.cells[1].qText + "' & chr(10) & 'Expression: " + row.cells[3].qText + "'";
The value of row.cells[3].qText is: row.cells[3].qText is:

Sum({<[Transaction.Date.Period] = {"$(=Date(AddMonths(MonthStart(Max([TTransaction.Date.Period])), -0 ), 'YYYY-MM'))"}>}[Value])
But when I run the "Create Measure" extension, it does not interpret as functions and variables, keeping a string literal. The Qlik you will interpret when entering the metric and clicking save.

Is there any form of correction?

The output of the above case would be:

Sum of sales M-0
Expression: Sum({<[Transaction.Date.Period] = {"2019-04"}>}[Value])
Thanks!
