Master Dimensions are not being displayed in Selection Tools screen

[Sonja_Bauernfeind]

Some of the master dimension in the Qlik Sense app cannot be seen in the selection tool.
Calculated dimension are not be displayed by design, and this is a current product limitation, but you can expect that a Master Dimension with a single field as expression would be displayed.

Environment

• Qlik Sense Business 
• Qlik Sense Desktop 
• Qlik Cloud 
• Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows 

Cause:

The problem occurs when a Master Dimension is created using the left bar of Qlik Sense app. In this case, Sense will automatically add the '=' sign to the field you import.
So the master dimension is considered as a calculated dimension and not shown by the selection tool

Resolution:

It is necessary to avoid the "=" in the master dimension.
Here are the steps to follow. 

1. Go to  Assets panel, Master items, Dimensions, "Create new" .
2. Find the "Create new dimensions" window.
3. Select a field in the list. Qlik Sense suggest a dimension with his field and name 
4. Click on Add dimension. The dimension is added  without "=" .

hello,

it's difficult to read that the MasterItem must be exactly the same as a field to be displayed in the selections.

because all of these positions make it impossible to manage an industrial and multi-language application.

It's too easy to say,  "it's by design", only to mask a real bug or your application

It would be nice if you can define your own 10 most selected items (master items) in the selection area. I have more dan 25 master items, but want to show as default only ~8 items. But not on anfabetical order but on a functional order (most used selections)

There is no point to define Master data if it is a copy of the data... Either the funciton is useless or it is clearly a bug. Fix it ASAP.

The solution may require further improvement as it currently does not seem to be effective.

However, Qlikt seems to be on enabling non-technical individuals to gain technical knowledge.
