Copy & Paste multiple linked objects

Hello,

In QlikView is there are way to copy multiple objects at the same time & paste them as linked objects?  I've built a dashboard that has filters (list boxes) in the left column; each sheet in the dashboard will have the same filters.  I want to copy all the list boxes from one sheet and paste them into the next sheet; the benefit of pasting them as linked objects is if I make a change to a list box on one sheet, the change will be made on all the sheets.

Once you select all object using Ctrl + A and copy them, then while pasting dont use Ctrl + v to paste them., instead right click on sheet and select option as paste sheet object as link.

You can do Ctrl + A and copy paste then remove unnecessary objects.

Before develop something, think If placed (The Right information | To the right people | At the Right time | In the Right place | With the Right context)

When you paste. right-click and select "Paste as Linked Object".

Ctl-A will select all objects.  You can also select any group of objects by:

1) Lasso the objects by holding down the left mouse button.

2) Holding Shift while clicking the caption on each object.

It's easier to see what's selected if you turn on the Design Grid (Ctrl-g).  After selecting a group of objects, Ctrl-c to put them in the clipboard.

Hi will this be acting different in Qlik Sense? If I do Ctrl +A  all the objects are not selected on my sheet. thanks

afaik, Qlik Sense only allows copy of one object at a time.
