Hi
Just sharing some newly gained knowledge.
This is noted in QlikView 11.0 SR2, not tested in other versions
I have an app that sets some values in triggers on document action "OnOpen".
I use action "Select in Field"
In a field that has three values (EVM performance, Variance, Performance index) I select the first:
Select in Field: EVM performance
It works as expected, the value EVM performance is set when the application is opened.
I then add a bookmark and then apply the same bookmark.
The same field now instead keeps two selections: EVM performance, Performance index
And as you probably understand, this was not what I expected or wanted.
The bookmark is saved as a "search" bookmark and the search mechanism in the bookmark does not work in the same way as the corresponding trigger search mechanism.
How to fix this?
- In the action trigger, enter: Select in Field: ("EVM performance")
- Make a manual selection in the field before saving the bookmark, changes the type of bookmark
- Export the bookmark, edit the XML file and import it again
I guess that the type of search mechanism to be used (eg "normal", "wildcard", etc) could effect this scenario, but I have not seen that in the tests I have performed...
