Hello,

Yes, it is possible to achieve the desired behavior using a selection trigger in QlikView. You can use the OnSelect trigger on the product field in the products table to create a selection action. When a specific product is selected, the trigger can be programmed to add its components to the selection by using a select statement on the components field in the components table. This way, whenever a product is chosen, its associated components will be automatically selected as well, enriching the data in the products table.

If the products and the components are properly linked no selections of the components is needed because the selected products makes the associated components possible which would make them visible and calculable within the views.
