Hi,
I'm new to Extensions. We have a requirement to start a reload task from a Button in an Application. This should not reload the application, it has to just start a task from qmc.
Can you please guide me or give me some pointers on how to go about it.
Thanks,
Sangeetha
Hi @sangeetha_m
I see you've specifically asked to start a task chain and not just reload the app the user is in - a number of Qlik partners used to produce extensions that did this, however examples such as https://github.com/inphinityapp/ReloadTaskButton use deprecated APIs.
That said, the same principles should apply to any extension you wish to build, in that the call will be sent to the QRS API (to either https://help.qlik.com/en-US/sense-developer/February2023/APIs/RepositoryServiceAPI/index.html?page=1... or https://help.qlik.com/en-US/sense-developer/February2023/APIs/RepositoryServiceAPI/index.html?page=3...) using the context of the logged in user and that user therefore needs to have appropriate access to that task & application.
