Variable Input extension (Dashboard Bundle) stopped working with Dynamic Values on Cloud [June 2020]

[Federico_Rizzello]

Hi to all,

I got an issue with Variable Input extension (Dashboard Bundle) on Cloud versions (both Qlik Sense Business and Qlik Sense Enterprise on Cloud). Suddenly, since 07/07/2020, the extension stopped working if alternative values are written as "Dynamic" (see screenshot). The result is a blank object. This worked up to 06/07/2020.

I submitted an issue in Qlik Support portal with case number 02021184 - VARIABLE INPUT BUNDLE EXTENSION NOT WORKING WITH DYNAMIC VALUES

Variable Input, listing Dynamic values Variable Input, remains blank on Dynamic values

REPLICATION STEPS:

Step 1 - created an app (on Cloud) with just a Dummy Variable, called "DummyVariable" initialized at value "AAA";

Step 2 - created a new object "Variable Input - Fixed Values", linked to our DummyVariable with fixed values AAA,BBB,CCC; it works as intended, showing alternative values e changing the variable;

Step 3 - repeat step 2, but using Dynamic Values in format 'AAA~AAA|BBB~BBB|CCC~CCC'; here comes the ISSUE: no values are shown in the object, so users can't change the variable through this object

support just gave a high priority on this... I'll keep you updated...

"We have submitted an issue request to R&D to have this behavior evaluated and declared a defect. Defect ID QLIK-101988 and attached to this case. The way submitting to IT works they will evaluate the request and then we should be able to provide when the work would be done to fix it if it determined to be a defect. My expectation is that it will be. Additionally, we have escalated this evaluation to an internal team that can make sure it is treated with priority."

Hello All, has Qlik solved for someone which has apps on Qlik Sense Business (cloud)?

[Ron_van_Rooij]

Not yet. 

I checked just now and the bug is still there.

Adding to this that the ability to reorder Fixed Values in the Variable Input control by drag-and-drop is not working.

Hello Smith, I agree with you, it's a feature that would be much appreciated. I'm not sure, but I think this feature was never implemented. Let's hope for the future!

[ArrogantAardvark]

Ah, good to know. Given the appearance of the input boxes, I had assumed that they could be reordered. Agreed, this would be a nice feature.

"I wanted to provide an update. A fix has been developed and tested. We are currently waiting on it to be applied to production which should be done by tomorrow according to our estimates. Please let me know if you have an questions in the meantime. I will send an official update when it is merged. "

hopefully tomorrow it'll be fixed.
