default bookmark does not work in November version

[agigliotti]

Hi,
With November 2020 version, I'm facing an issue with default bookmark to create an app landing page.
Actually the bookmark it's not being applied opening the app.
It worked with previous version.
Did anyone face the same problem?

Best Regards

I am reproducing this error - let me check with PM - or see if I am doing something wrong.

I reproduced an issue with default bookmarks

This section on the HELP page is not correct: either it is a defect or not documented correctly, I would expect the former

• In a published app, the app consumer can clear the selection of the default bookmark and make other selections. However, the selection state of the default bookmark will be re-applied when the app consumer re-opens or reloads a sheet.

https://help.qlik.com/en-US/sense/September2020/Subsystems/Hub/Content/Sense_Hub/Bookmarks/set-defau...

When closing with 'x' the selection the default bookmark makes, it is never applied again until you manually do so. Not when browsing to hub and logging out / logging in.

Hi @JanJorissen  and @Michael_Tarallo 
I confirm the bug is still exist with November 2020 Patch 1 version.
The default bookmark works partially opening the app:
only bookmark selections are applied.
no sheet is being opened even if the option "Save sheet location" has been activated.
Is this a known bug ?
Stay safe and take care.
Best Regards

happen to me too , in my case, an old apps with default bookmark is fine  (created with june2020 ver),

but recently i created new apps (created with nov2020 ver), with default bookmark, and it seems not stable , when the apps is published , and i open it on stream , the landing page not working.

then i duplicate it to personal "work" page, when i open it, it work fine.

We are investigating the issue, something is not right but it doesnt happen everytime.

For published apps, the bookmark and the sheet must be public.

any update on this topic? still happening in patch 3 Nov 2020

Ok, the problem arise due to two competing objectives.

The default bookmark is applied only once per session.

During a session the selection state should be kept across tabs.

On windows, the session is terminated when all tabs are closed.

On SaaS, a session can linger up to 30 minutes even if all tabs are closed. Which can give the effect that the default bookmark is not applied.

Thanks,
Patric
