Qlik Sense Chart-level scripts, #hc1.dimension.n(rr) silently fails i.e. when PUT is used, no error generated and expected changes are not displayed

[Joseph_Musekura]

The conclusions in this article were reached in collaboration with cjgorrin from the European Commission's Joint Research Centre Qlik Sense team.

Based on Qlik Sense online documentation, PUT statement can be used to set some numeric value to the hypercube

But in the following example (see attached CHART LEVEL SCRIPT_Put Dimension_silently fails.qvf), PUT statement seems to do nothing i.e. when used, no error is returned and expected changes are not displayed

Put #hc1.dimension.1(rr) = 'myvalue_' & rr;
Put #hc1.dimension.2(rr) = rr * 100;

Resolution

This is working as designed.

Put statements are not allowed to manipulate dimensions. The Qlik Sense online help will be updated to reflect this.
