QB-25217 Qlik Data Prep: Limited field of view in the Add Data dialog in Data Manager on Chrome and Edge When selecting a source data file, the preview window was limited to only showing one row.

QB-21455 Qlik Sense Hub: Favorites icon visible in anonymous sessions We have removed the Favorite icon for anonymous sessions.

 

August 2023 Patch 12

Key Title Description
QB-24625 Qlik Sense Engine: Access to hidden values possible through Set Analysis on dimension Fixed a problem where the Section Access value subset was not correctly applied to fields-on-the-fly based on a single key field. This resulted in all key values being visible on the field on the fly, even if Section Access restricted the source key field.
QB-24577 Qlik Sense Visualizations: Treemap chart color doesn't apply defined custom theme after upgrade After upgrading to QS May 2023 patch 9, the custom theme was not applied to the treemap. This has been solved, and in cases where the color scheme does not exist, it will fall back to default.
QB-24350 Qlik Sense Visualizations: No longer possible to select several areas of the map at the same time Clicking on one element of a slightly off-screen map would focus on the selection and confirmed it directly. This has been fixed and the map allows multiple selections.

Key Title Description
QB-24368 Qlik Sense: Content libraries do not recognize virtual proxy prefix Fixed a problem where it was not possible to load content library items if a virtual proxy was used.
QB-24440 Qlik Sense: EngineHealth function in QMC stops working when TimeZone is UTC Fixed a problem where the engine timestamp did not include a timezone offset, presenting only a "Z" instead of the expected "+0000", leading to a failure in converting the timestamp into a readable format. This update addresses a critical issue where the EngineHealth function would cease to operate correctly when the system TimeZone was set to UTC. We have enhanced the functionality within the QMC to ensure robust and accurate parsing of date-time strings across various time zone formats.
QB-22171 REST Connector: Slow when importing large files We have made performance improvements of file import with the REST connector for cases where a table contains a large number of columns.

QB-23049 Qlik Sense Visualizations: Unable to export to image or PDF when using URL rewrite in Reverse Proxy Exporting Image/PDF didn't work using a Reverse Proxy prefix if a Virtual Proxy Prefix was not provided in the QMC. This fix removes the need to set up a Virtual Proxy in the QMC and instead uses the configurations of the Reverse Proxy to call the correct path to the printing service.

 

August 2023 Patch 7

Key Title Description
QB-22849 Qlik Sense: Dashboard variable input has inconsistent behavior Fixed a problem where the variable input from the dashboard bundle added an extra option to the dropdown.

A new hidden option has been added that will allow selection of any option in the dropdown when these do not match the current value of the variable.
QB-22155 Qlik Sense: Fail to open Data Load Editor in new tab The routing was redirecting to a non-existent HMTL file, causing the failure to open the Data Load Editor in a new tab. This fix corrects the routing.
QB-22497 Qlik Sense Visualizations: Hyperlink in table not working on Qlik Sense August 2022 IR Fixed a problem where opening a URL from a table would cause the link to have a port attached to the URL. This went against the browser's origin restriction, meaning the iframe didn't show. This was solved by adding a "noopener" to the opening of the link.

 

August 2023 Patch 6

Key Title Description
QB-21792 Qlik Sense Visualizations: Unusable search functionality on mobile devices Fixed a problem that caused users to be trapped inside an expanded list box on iOS. This was solved by adjusting the positioning of the pop-over on the list box on mobile devices, and resetting the browser zoom after the pop-over opens.
QB-22968 Qlik Sense: External call to fonts.googleapis.com The font Qlik Sense loads when the application starts is now loaded from Qlik Sense's own web resources. This means that external calls are no longer made.

QB-22217 Qlik Sense on Windows: Bad request error when connecting to websocket for some formats of headers This issue affected Qlik Sense on Windows August 2023 Patch 2. A "400 Bad request" error was thrown when connecting to websocket if multiple comma-separated valid headers were entered without entering a whitespace after the comma. This has been fixed and header values are now allowed without whitespaces.

QB-21270 Qlik Sense Insight Advisor: Not working on externally hosted mashup We have resolved the license error that previously limited the use of Insight Advisor Chat outside the Qlik environment. With this latest release, Qlik developers can now host the Insight Advisor chat outside the Qlik environment for their users. This change allows for a seamless and extended integration of the powerful Qlik Insight Advisor Chat into various external platforms, providing even greater flexibility and utility.
QB-22833 Mashups: Mashups cannot load correctly if require.js is loaded with jquery Loading require.js using a method other than a script tag, would cause the mashup to not load correctly. This has been fixed so the "isMashup" check works properly in all situations.

Key Title Description
QB-21812 Qlik Sense Visualizations: Cross-site mashups not fetching JavaScript resources Fixed a problem that prevented mashups hosted on a different domain than the Qlik Sense Enterprise installation from fetching JavaScript resources from the servers, even though users were logged in and cookies had been set.

QB-21469 Qlik Sense: NL Insights not honoring virtual prefix When logging in using a virtual proxy with a prefix, NL Insights was not working. This has been fixed and it is now possible to use the NL Insights extension while using a virtual proxy with a prefix.

A fix was applied to not suppress group sums that resulted in 0 or null when dimensions in a pivot table are placed on top.
QB-20587 Qlik Sense Engine: The engine crashes when merging tables in the load script Fixed a problem where the engine would crash when merging tables in the load script by resizing the ColGenerationCounters array to avoid access violation exceptions.
QB-20326 Use connection name for "Select data from source" in Data Manager For "Select data from source" we need to look up by connection name to be more consistent with Data Load Editor. After an upgrade, the connection ID no longer matched which caused issues trying to add the data from source in Data Manager.
QB-20005 Visualizations: Value labels not visible in Waterfall charts with dark colors Value labels are now visible if a dark dark color is used in Waterfall charts. When you use a dark color, the value label color will change to make them visible.

This issue is fixed by identifying the trigger with an incorrect filter, disabling it, and removing it from the scheduler's memory to avoid future executions of the task. With this fix, other tasks will continue running as per their schedule.
QB-20614 Storing data containing null values into parquet file created a faulty file Storing data that contained null values into a parquet file created a file that when loaded would throw an error: "Cannot open file: 'Failed to read column' (: Malformed levels. min: 0 max: 254 out of range)". Null values will now be handled correctly when storing data into parquet files.
QB-20586 Border option in Container The Border option for Container objects did not work after the February 2023 release. This is now fixed.

This occurred when two very similar apps with very similar databases were used on the same engine and the engine failed to recognize that the apps had slightly different internal ordering of values. This was solved by adding the missing information to separate the apps to a hash key.
QB-18869 Visualizations: Tooltip image not showing Changes in custom tooltip services led to a change in the ImageComponent. This was fixed to access the new structure.

QB-19439 Visualizations: Filter pane not showing more than 5 digits regardless of the pane's width Updated the handling of frequency count width in List boxes. This allows for longer numbers in the frequency count before abbreviating them. This update also improves the space utilization in grid mode.
QB-19473 Insight Advisor: Field value suggestions sometimes fails when business logic is enabled When typing a question in Insight Advisor with business logic enabled, suggestions were not populating when the field value suggestions were coming from fields for which the data value lookup was set to "no". This has now been fixed.

Known issues and limitations

The following issues and limitations were identified at release time. The list is not comprehensive but lists all known major issues and limitations.

Clients

  • Third-party extensions are currently not supported on mobile devices, and the Qlik Trusted Extension Developer program does not accredit extensions for use on mobile devices. Generated items might not be visualized properly on a mobile device, depending on individual device specifications, mobile OS, and the size of the Qlik Sense app.
  • When you consume Qlik Sense apps using the Microsoft Edge browser on touch/hybrid devices, the long-press action does not work. This prevents you from accessing functions such as an object’s context menu, which requires a long press in touch mode. This is a Microsoft Edge issue.
    Workaround: If you use a hybrid device, turn off touch mode, and then turn it back on again.
  • Export as Anonymous does not work for mashups deployed in a domain that is different from the domain where Qlik Sense is installed. Export only works for Anonymous if the mashup is deployed in the same domain as Qlik Sense.
  • When using the new Load Extension syntax in the load script, the Data Load Editor syntax completion does not work well after the keyword “Extension” when trying to write the call to an SSE function (AAI function). The script still executes correctly.
  • Legend does not show dimension values after row number 3000.
  • Limitations when exporting a story to PowerPoint:   
    • Titles are not rescaled as HTML. Font settings are not exported.
    • Storytelling effects are not applied.
    • Exported charts might show fixed scroll bars, depending on the export resolution.
  • It is not possible to open the context menu of an org chart on a touch device.
  • When you choose to view data in the context menu in a dynamic chart and make a new selection in the app, you need to refresh the browser for the chart to be displayed again.

Dynamic views

  • Dynamic views that you delete from one app are also deleted from every other app that was using the same view. There is no workaround for this issue. Avoid deleting views that might already be in use by other apps.
  • When you create a new dynamic view in the assets pane, the dropdown menu item does not automatically change to show the charts of the newly created dynamic view if there are any existing dynamic views. You must click on the dropdown menu to choose the newly created view.
  • The data for a dynamic view is automatically refreshed whenever you open a sheet that contains charts for the view. The same happens when you enter and then return from the global selections pane, and when you add a new chart for the view. Refrain from performing these actions on the base app to prevent triggering refreshes.
  • The view of a dynamic chart is cleared and shows a message indicating a view constraint violation whenever you change the selection state of the base app in a way that violates the view's constraints. Refrain from changing the selection state of the base app until it has finished making use of the data in any of the dynamic view charts.
  • The ‘Go to source’ option on a snapshot slide (available on right-click) for a dynamic chart does not select the actual dynamic chart when you change the view to the base app sheet.
  • Changes to chart settings for dynamic view charts using the Exploration menu are lost after refreshing the view.
  • Dynamic views do not support the Trellis extension.

Managing a Qlik Sense site

  • The Edit pane under Custom properties in the Qlik Management Console (QMC) can currently handle a limited number of custom properties. If you want to edit custom property values in the QMC, we recommend keeping the number of custom property values to a maximum of 500. If you want to apply values without modifying them, the QMC can handle up to 10,000 custom property values.
  • When you remove app objects from an application via the QMC interface, deleted objects are not removed from the application’s binary file stored on the file system.
  • It is not possible to use a security rule on the HubSection_* resource to hide the ‘Open hub’ link from the navigation menu when accessing an app as an anonymous user.  
    Workaround: Use reverse proxy to redirect the ‘Open hub’ link to a preferred landing site.
  • Windows service Qlik Engine cannot be started on a node where the Qlik Engine service is disabled through the QMC. Every time Windows restarts for that node, the Qlik Engine service fails to start up and throws an error in Windows event logs. You can prevent this by temporarily disabling the Qlik Engine service in Windows Service Manager.
  • Data connection passwords containing special characters (such as "=", "%", or ";") are not properly encoded when updated via the QMC. This causes authentication errors when trying to connect to specific data sources, which could cause reload tasks to fail.  
    Workaround: Use the data load editor to update the password. Note that once the password is updated, the name of the data connection is automatically appended by "(domain_userId)". You can adjust this later via the QMC.

Qlik Sense Desktop

  • Qlik Sense Desktop can play WebM and Ogg but not MP4 files. This is due to limitations in Chromium.

Connectors

  • REST connector: The ‘Next token’ pagination option does not work when the pagination token has the same value for each page.
  • For connectors in the ODBC Connector Package only the data types listed as supported in the online help have been verified to work correctly in the Preview and Script editor. However, the ODBC Connector Package does not prevent you from loading other data types. In some cases, you can load unsupported data types with the load script.
  • ODBC connector: Database connectors in the ODBC Connector Package do not work properly if the username on the Microsoft Windows system running Qlik Sense Desktop contains letters that are not English alphanumeric characters.
    Workaround: Change the Windows system locale to match the character set that contains the characters used in the username. For example, if the system locale on the system running Qlik Sense Desktop is set to English and a username contains Swedish characters, you must change the system locale to Swedish for the ODBC connector to work properly.
  • The Qlik Salesforce connector does not support PK chunking on sharing objects. PK chunking is only supported on parent objects.
  • The Apache Phoenix connector does not support non-Latin characters in metadata. The connector might return corrupted data or unpredictable query results if you run a query with non-Latin characters in metadata, such as table names, column names, and aliases.

Cloud deployments and Multi-Cloud

  • When you download a pivot table in Qlik Sense Enterprise SaaS, expanded rows are not included but stay collapsed.
