Default values of variables which resets on load

[jsjohann]

Hello there,

is it possible to define default values based on a function for variables which resets to this default value every time the dashboard is opened? 

I've tried setting the definition in the variable overview to this particular function but this function gets ignored or overwritten when I set the variable over a dropdown field. 

My plan is do use a dropdown field to set a time period and change the data accordingly. For this use case it is important that the default selected value is the newest period.

Thanks for your help

Hi @jsjohann, in Configuration -> document properties -> triggers you can set anaction when the qvw opens, using an action External -> Set variable you can assign the variable value each time the document is opened.

Have you tried setting them in your Awake () or Start () function? Or are you trying to avoid hardcoding them in a script? You could always make a serializeable field and then lite blue set them to that field's value at load. There may be a cleaner way, but that will likely get it done. Hope that helps!

@rubenmarin @Brakusco Thanks for your answers! I've just realized that I've posted into the wrong forum. I need help for Qlik Sense and not Qlik View.
