How to delete all my variables within an app

Hi,

How can I delete all my variables within an app at once, rather than going through each and deleting them one by one?

Any insights or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Martin

I don't think it is possible to script this unfortunately!

Even a ctrl+a function in the variables window would be useful!

Nope, the script approach does not work in QS.

I think you will need an extension ...

I am a bit afraid this will become my only solution...

But unfortunately, the Variable API does not list a "delete" method..

There is no functionality as of now in Qlik Sense to delete all the variables at once.

I wish it were but for now we must follow the same old way.

Has anyone a solution?

We have thousends of variables and it is impossible to delete them manually.

Hi,

I don't think it will delete your variables but for future applications a very handy method to keep variables in Excel.

I know this works perfectly in QlikView. You can try for Qlik Sense as well. Declare variables in Script editor window using set analysis
