Is this a Bug

A funny little issue I got confronted with today:

In scriptmode when trying to label one of your Tabs with  the "&"-sign it won't be accepted?

Is this a Little Bug?

If I apply it twice I get it one time:

Lets hope the world is not going to perish just because of that  🙂

This is Windows convention for menu labels that Qlikview has adopted for tab names. In Windows, the & sign is a prefix that indicates the shortcut key value for the menu item (underlined), although AFAIK the shortcut key does not work in the Qlikview script editor. If you use a label like &Main, the M is underlined.

So applying it twice is the workaround.

I could not replicate the underlining.

Change it to &Main, then click on the Tabs Dropdown

Yes in the dropdown it is there, but not on tab itself.
