Qlik9:vbscript macro and data reload

[#1]

Hi all,

i'm posting here my simple doc.

In this doc there are two vbscript subroutines, calling activeDocument 's getField method.

Reloading data opens "Edit Module" windows on this instruction call, like a breakpoint instance running.

Why does it happen?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Roberta,

It appears that the code that you want to run - clear the selection in a field - will not run because at that point the object it is trying to access cannot be accessed. I might call this a bug.

However, if you replace your macros with Actions then it will work fine. There appears to be no Action to clear a field (why???). If you select with the search string "**" and then have a second action to toggle select with the same search string of "**" then it has the effect of clearing the selection.

Hi Stephen,

your suggestion give me a valid alternative approach.

Waiting to discover why I cannot use custom macro, I'll use this solution.

Thanks!!
