Added field to script - this is marked as $hidden. Why?

Hi all,

I'm rather new to Qlikview, did a mixture of Designer/Developer training some time ago and now I work in a QV project for the first time.

My current task is to add a new field to an existing load script and display the field on the front end. So far so good, the source qvd file contains the new field, I enhanced the load command in the script that loads from the qvd and the new field is available,

BUT it is marked as $hidden and an underscore is prefixed. No idea why. So I have to check "Show System fields" to be able to add the field to my chart.

What might be the issue?

Thanks, Regards,

Jens

In response to

I found the HidePrefix and understood how it's working .

There's a seperate script running and prefixing all fields with '_', except those mentioned in a reference table (Excel sheet). Added the new field to the table, load is currently still in progress but I believe it is working now,

Thanks for your help!

Jens
