I have a QVW where I have set several variables in the variable overview. All of these I set as expressions. This has worked fine for the past several months but this month when I reloaded the data the variables now just show the value and no longer the expression. Has anyone had this happen before and know how to fix it? I did not change any script so no clue as to why this happened and now the qvw is not working properly.
Can you share your script with everyone? As you mention it is after the reload that the variable definitions have been replaced by values so that does point to something in the script causing this although I note you mentioning you don't reference these variables in the load script. It seems very strange indeed.
I've exported the script and posted to the original message. The only thing not there is the hidden script for the section access. Thanks!
I vaguely remember some pretty old discussions that reported similar, like for example
(I think there were some few more discussions, but couldn't find it right now).
Do you have any backups of your application that still show the variables (if so, there are methods to export and import the variables into your latest version)?
Yes I have an older version from a few months back. How can I export from there an import into the latest?
For example like shown here

Thanks!! This is going to be a life saver!
We'll be curious to know if the problem returns after the next reload. Let us know.

Well the import of the variables worked fine for my copy on my laptop but once I deploy to the server it is still not working as expected; When I apply the filters, the metrics are not updating as they should. I'm hoping that moving the variables into the script and reloading will fix the problem. Is it a better practice to put variables in the script than in the variable overview?

They don't update at all or they do, but showing unexpected results?
They don't update at all
