How to make listbox values as readonly in qliksense

[shree909]

Hi

I have a scenario where i want to display a listbox with no selections.

I know in qlikview if you enable the condition as readonly on listbox, it will not allow to make any selections.

Is there something we do in qliksense

You can try using a Text & image object with an expression that returns a list of the items. Something like =concat(distinct MyField, chr(10))

This is an old post but one of the ways you can achieve this, though a bit janky, is to use the ValueList() function to create a synthetic dimension that cannot be selected. As an example, here's an expression you can use in a filterpane to show the values in the [Dim2] field while keeping users from being able to select those values:

=ValueList('$(=Concat(all distinct [Dim2], ''','''))')

The ValueList() function takes a list of strings as the values for the synthetic dimension, so we use the Concat() function to combine the values of the [Dim2] field and separate them with a single quote, comma, and then another single quote, and then all of that is used inside of an outer set of single quotes and accessed using dollar-sign expansion. Basically we're generating a separate string for each distinct [Dim2] value.

In Qlik Cloud and the most recent releases of Qlik Sense Enterprise Client Managed, you can take this a step further by changing the color of the filterpane's selected state to be white so that even if users try to select those value, they will not show a green color, reducing possible confusion:
