SelectValues returns full Dataset instead of empty Dataset

[Christoph_Sch]

Hello everyone,

I have a big Problem with my Qlik Sense App.

We are using a Javascript Frontend und are connecting to Qlik via enigma.js.

Now the problem is this, we have a given Table e.g.

column1	column2	column3
value1	value3	aaa
value2	value4	bbb
value1	value5	ccc

let's say I'm calling now:

app.getField('column3').then(function(field){

    field.selectValues('aaa');

})

when I would then make getLayout and everything, Qlik will return row #1 as expacted, but and here is the big problem now

when I would select a value, that is not in the column e.g.

app.getField('column3').then(function(field){

    field.selectValues('eee');

})

I get all the rows back.

How can I tell Qlik that instead, it should return an empty table?

thanks a lot in advance!

maybe a different approach:

Is there a way to check after field.selectValues('somevalue'); if something was selected?
So I could abort the creation.
