Not able to un-select a particular field from Current Selection Box

Hi guys,

Need your help as I'm not able to un-select a particular field from Current Selection Box.

Even "Clear All Selection" doesn't work.

I know that enabling "Always one selected value" could be one of the reason, I checked disabling that and trying too but to no avail.

Any idea why?

Hey,

Thanks everyone for the prompt reply.

I think it was some kind of bug in Qlikview that popped up while I was developing it. All I did to unselect the field was, remove the field from the data (since it was an inline data field) by commenting in the Load script and reload the data.

The field vanished and so was the selection. And not faced it again.

The value belongs to a field that has a control which has a minimum single value selected at any point of time. That should be the only reason. There could also be a trigger which enforces this.

Hi,

Check if your field is locked; in that case you can't modify the selections nor clear it.

Thanks for the reply Rajesh,

I have checked throughout but there is no such control or may be I'm not able to find out where it is (I did check the hidden objects).

There are no triggers either.

Hi,

Could you check if your control is detached, then you have to attach it back.

HI

Try like this

Delete or copy the current selection box/ list box(which contain the field not clearing) once and check it..

Rajesh,

If you are talking about Current Selection control then it does not have that option and if it's about some other control then I don't know which control to check since I'm not sure where the selection is coming from for that particular field.

Anyways, I have checked all of them, they are all attached it seems.

Another thing I discovered is, this is happening on all the sheets. Previously I did not know coz there was no "Current Selection box" but now when I tried adding, the field comes selected there by default and I'm not able to clear it.

This thing is bugging me now
