Data and platform

Native JSON Support for Qlik Sense

Qlik Sense now supports direct native loading and parsing of JSON data files without the REST connector, enabling easier, more flexible, and complex JSON data handling for use cases including IoT data ingestion, modern web applications, and more.

Key capabilities include:

• Direct JSON file loading: Supports loading .json files directly into Qlik Sense without additional connectors, and interrogation of JSON within a single field, for example out of a database.
• Wildcard and multi-file loading: Use wildcard loading to combine multiple JSON files, even if file structures differ.
• Dynamic model creation: Qlik Sense will dynamically model and accommodate all data found across source files.
• Field selection options: Load specific fields or all fields from JSON arrays with field selection parameters.
• Large file support: Enables loading of large, complex JSON files.
• Enhanced data load wizard: Improved user interface for JSON loading with wizard-driven steps to simplify setup.
• Catalog profiling support: JSON files are now supported in Qlik Cloud datafiles, and in the Qlik Cloud catalog for data profiling and management.

Native support for regular expressions

Qlik Sense now includes native support for regular expressions (regex) in both load scripts and chart expressions, enabling users to enhance data preparation and analytics workflows with advanced text pattern matching, extraction, and transformation. Regular expressions offer advanced and flexible options for processing text-based data, supporting use cases such as identifying email addresses, validating formats, and standardizing data based on defined patterns.

Calculated dimensions in the selections tool

The selections tool gets an upgrade and is improved to also handle calculated dimensions.

Window Function Enhancements and Fixes
The May 2025 release includes several improvements for the Window function to enhance its reliability and usability. Updates address issues such as incorrect sorting behavior, syntax inconsistencies, unexpected results when used in load statements with a Group By clause, and inaccuracies in sliding windows with extreme start or end expressions.

Enhanced opening experience for analytic apps

We have taken the first step toward improving how Qlik analytic apps open by introducing real-time progress updates. Now, users can see a detailed breakdown of the loading process, providing transparency and setting clear expectations—especially for larger apps that take more time to open. This enhancement offers a smoother, more informed user experience.This feature is turned off by default, but administrators can turn it on in capabilities.json.

Embedded PostgreSQL upgrade for improved security

As part of our ongoing commitment to security and platform resilience, we are introducing an automatic upgrade of the embedded PostgreSQL database from version 14.8 to 14.17. This update will be applied to all installations currently running an older supported version within the 14.x track.

For environments still on version 9.6 or 12.5, a manual upgrade to at least version 14.8 is required before the automatic upgrade to 14.17 can take place. This is because the automatic upgrade process only applies to systems already on the 14.x track; systems running 12.x or older are not eligible for automatic updates. Version 9.6 is no longer supported and is fully blocked from upgrading directly.

This upgrade ensures the embedded database benefits from the latest stability improvements and security patches, including fixes for several known vulnerabilities.

Visualizations and dashboards

Custom logos in apps and revised media library

Users can now add custom logos to the app navigation bar in their analytic apps. Additionally, the media library in apps has been updated with a new look and feel.

Improvements to the advanced edit mode assets panel

The assets panel in the advanced edit mode has been updated with a new look and feel.

Map chart selection styling

In our relentless pursuit to expand styling capabilities, Qlik has added the ability to change the outline color of selections in the map chart. You can now pick your own custom color instead of the default color, enhancing the styling of your geographic apps and maps.

Map chart WMS improvements

The background layer WMS in the map chart is getting better support for Basic Authentication, a common way to protected WMS services. The WMS setup is now easier to use with dedicated fields for user credentials.

New toolbar customization settings

As requested by customers, you can now add shortcut buttons to Sheets and Bookmarks in the toolbars of your analytic apps. These buttons open the assets panel to either Sheets or Bookmarks. You can add these buttons from UI settings in your app settings.

Sheets and bookmarks accessible directly in app toolbar

Sheets and Bookmarks have been re-added as items in the default configuration of the app toolbar. This setting can be configured by opening the app settings, and selecting UI settings.

Text object improvements

The Text object in the Dashboard bundle has been refined:

• You can convert several rows of lines to bullets.
• Measures are highlighted when you edit properties.
• Hover and Details are not off by default.
• The maximum number of measures in the Text object has increased from 10 measures to 100 measures.

Customize visualization menus

Today we're releasing settings to configure the right click menu. As an app developer I can now decide which actions should be available in the context menu by modifying the UI settings in the app settings.

Butterfly chart

The bar chart has a new presentation option in addition to Grouped and Stacked: Butterfly. The butterfly chart, sometimes also called tornado chart, is an awesome way to compare two measures across a dimension.

Manually add points and lines to line charts

The line chart is getting options to add points and lines to add perspective, like highlighting specific values or showing trends by connecting points with lines. Adding context to a graph is a great way to increase usability and data understanding.

Straight table improvements

The following improvements are now available for the straight table in the Visualization bundle:

• The new straight table gets support for mini charts. Add a second dimension and display the measure with sparklines, bars, or dots. Perfect for showing the trends and providing more context to make the measure more comprehensible.
• The new straight table is getting settings for how null values should be represented and also a setting for hiding the header if you want.
• Zebra stripes: Add options to color alternating rows via Styling panel.
• Chart exploration in the new straight table is now supported in layout container and the new tab container. The new straight table also gets word wrap of headers and content.
• The new straight table in the bundle is getting indicators. Add icons and colors based on thresholds, quick and easy on any measure.
• More support for cyclic dimensions in the new straight table. Column now includes a dropdown for quick access of cyclic group fields.

Pivot table improvements

The following improvements are now available for the pivot table in the Visualization bundle:

• The new pivot table gets range selection.
• The new pivot table in the bundle gets another presentation mode: choose indent row dimensions for a more compact view. Indent rows are intended for text hence images and links are not supported.
• The new pivot table in the bundle has got new functions for expanding and collapsing levels. The end user can now expand and collapse the whole table directly in view mode. It's also possible to right click on a single dimension and expand one specific dimension, a feature much wanted by our user community. Additionally, the chart now supports right-to-left reading order when activated in the app settings.
• More support for cyclic dimensions in the new pivot table. Column now includes a dropdown for quick access of cyclic group fields.

Layout container improvements

The layout container is now supported in custom tooltips.

Holding shift while resizing the layout container will keep charts in same place and size.

Scatter plot improvements

Scatter plot gets options for bubble outline color and support for reference lines with slope.

Improvements to the navigation menu

The very popular custom menu is getting updates based on customer feedback:

• Hover menu is off by default
• Sheet title expression now used if present
• Drawer panel option to place to the right
• Separate items mode, now with more space, border, shadow and divider options
• Padding and margin adjustments
• Icon and group symbols use label color

Multi KPI sunset

The old Multi KPI will be retired. Consider replacing the object with other charts. If you haven't already, please explore all the new app, sheet, and chart styling settings. Do also make use of the Layout container and the Navigation menu when replacing the functionality.

Removal of deprecated objects

It's time to remove deprecated charts from the bundles. The following charts have not been available in the asset panel for a long time. If you are still using them, please upgrade to new and better functionality. See the help section for pointers to replacement. The charts will be removed from the Qlik Analytics distribution in May 2026.

• Bar & area
• Bullet chart (old one)
• Heatmap chart
• Button for navigation
• Share button
• Show/hide container
• Container (old one)

New variable options for including current state in bookmarks and reports

You can now control at the variable level whether or not a variable's current state is included in bookmarks and reports.

New details panel

A new details panel is now available in applications, helping users find the relevant app metadata, such as owner, updated, and created. It also provides valuable actions within the app, such as editing the reload schedule, and moving the app.

Improvements to app details

App details has been changed to an overlay from a panel, providing a more responsive experience.

Resolved Defects

May 2025 Patch 3

Key	Title	Description

QCB-31360	Expression Editor: Improved Syntax Highlighting on Initial Load	We've enhanced the Expression Editor to ensure syntax highlighting works correctly as soon as you open it. Previously, syntax highlighting might not have been active when you first loaded the editor.

May 2025 Patch 1

Resolved an issue affecting deployments on Windows Server 2025 in multi-domain Active Directory environments
Addressed a problem where installations of Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows May 2025 could fail or encounter issues when deployed on Windows Server 2025 in environments with multiple AD domains and domain trusts. This fix ensures full compatibility in such scenarios.

Key	Title	Description
QCB-31627	Button chart: Fixed incorrect scroll position on navigation	Previously, using a button chart to navigate to another chart always scrolled to the bottom of the sheet. This issue has been resolved, and the scroll position now correctly aligns with the target chart's location.
QCB-32124	Sheet View: Functionality Restored for HTTP Server Access	We've resolved an issue where enabling HTTP access to the server inadvertently caused sheet views to stop functioning. This problem only affected HTTP connections, while HTTPS access remained fully operational throughout.
QCB-31627	Button chart: Fixed incorrect scroll position on navigation	Previously, using a button chart to navigate to another chart always scrolled to the bottom of the sheet. This issue has been resolved, and the scroll position now correctly aligns with the target chart's location.
QCB-31261	Scatter Plots: Fixed Tooltip Display for Out-of-Range Reference Lines	We've resolved an issue affecting scatter plots with reference lines. Previously, when reference lines were out of range, their tooltips failed to appear.
QCB-31670	Visualization: Line breaks now supported in custom tooltips	Line breaks in custom tooltip titles and descriptions are now properly displayed. To add a new line, use the Chr(10) character in your expressions.
QCB-31029	SAP Connector: Enhanced security for legacy connector loading	We fixed a security vulnerability related to loading legacy connectors. The fix restricts connector loading to only the 'C:\Program Files\Common Files\Qlik\Custom Data' folder and its subfolders. Important: If you have connectors outside the specified folder, you must move them to 'C:\Program Files\Common Files\Qlik\Custom Data' or its subfolders to continue using them for data loading.
QCB-31539	Data Export: Expanded file size limit for Excel exports	We've enhanced the Excel export functionality by increasing the maximum file size limit before ZIP64 compression is applied.

May 2025

Key	Title	Description
QCB-31649	Data Load Editor: Standardized UTC Time for Data Connection Editing	We've updated the Data Load Editor (DLE) to use Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) instead of local time when editing data connections.
QCB-31572	Nov 2024 - Improved Interaction Between Expression Editor and On-Demand App Navigation Form	The interaction between the Expression Editor and the Create new on-demand app navigation link form has been improved. Users can now edit in the Expression Editor without losing the form when navigating from the Data Load Editor (DLE). Previously, the form would open behind the Expression Editor, preventing edits without losing the form itself.
QCB-31521	Data Load Editor: Improved Cursor Positioning for Long Script Lines	We've enhanced the user experience in the Data Load Editor when working with long script lines. Previously, as a line of script grew longer, the cursor appeared to move away from the last character. This was due to inconsistent font size calculations. We've now aligned the font sizes, ensuring that the cursor remains accurately positioned relative to the text, regardless of line length.
QCB-31489	Qlik Sense Nov 2024 - Data Manager: Restored Date Formatting Options	We've resolved an issue in Data Manager where users were unable to customize date formats. Previously, the Input format and Output format options for dates were missing. With this fix, these options are now visible and fully functional again for date values.
QCB-31467	Sense-Client: Improved error handling for large response messages	Added translated error message in Client for Engine error code (-32604), improving user understanding of large response message issues.
QCB-31459	Anonymous Users: Insight Advisor Visibility Corrected	We've resolved an issue where the Insight Advisor button and service were visible to anonymous users with analyzer access in published app sheets, even when disabled. This stemmed from security requirement, prohibiting anonymous users from accessing variables. The fix ensures that when Insight Advisor is disabled, it's now properly hidden for anonymous users with analyzer access.
QCB-31412	Security Update: Axios Upgraded to Address CVE Vulnerabilities	We've enhanced the security of our application by updating the version of Axios to mitigate known vulnerabilities existing in older versions.
QCB-31397	Published Apps: Removed app settings from menu	We've fixed an issue where app settings appeared in published app menus, causing errors when accessed. These settings have been removed, streamlining the menu and preventing user confusion. Published apps now display only relevant options.
QCB-31391	Unable to create or view ODBC and OLE DB connections in Data Manager	Users experienced issues when creating or viewing ODBC and OLE DB connections in Data Manager. Specifically, the ODBC connection dialog did not display existing DNS, and the OLE DB connection dialog kept spinning, preventing the creation of new connections. The solution was to create the connections in DLE. Both issues stemmed from calls returning different data shapes (enigma vs engine), which interfered with the connectors' functionality. This issue has been resolved.
QCB-31377	Multi Cloud Setup Console: Security update for Axios library	We've implemented a security update for the Multi Cloud Setup Console by upgrading the Axios library to version 1.8.2. This update addresses known security vulnerabilities (CVE-2023-45857 and CVE-2024-39338) that were present in the previously used version.
QCB-31336	Charts: Removed misleading clickable arrows from dimension labels	We've resolved an issue where dimension under the chart axis displayed clickable arrows that shouldn't have been there. These arrows incorrectly suggested that users could drill down into the dimensions. The fix removes these misleading visual elements, providing a clearer and more accurate representation of the chart's functionality.
QCB-31331	Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows: Data Load Editor not loading data connections	Fixed a regression introduced with the May 2024 release of Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows. This error resulted in the server node ID of the engine used by the Data Load Editor not being communicated to backend services, which prevented the Data Load Editor from successfully loading, resulting in the display of a spinner control in place of the connection list in DLE. This occurrence was characterized by continuous traffic on the Qlik Engine web socket with the remote procedure calls to CreateSessionObject with a parameter value of 'LoadModelList'.
QCB-31299	Engine disconnects from web applications when response data exceeds size limit	Two new settings have been introduced: SuppressVariableItemsInBookmarkLayout: When set to a non-zero value, this setting prevents variables from being included in bookmark layouts. This addresses a specific case where large bookmark data could cause disconnections. MessageSizeLimit: This setting allows you to set an upper limit (in bytes) on the size of response messages sent over the JSON RPC protocol. The default value is INT32_MAX - 1000 (approximately 2 GB). If the response data exceeds this limit, an error response with the code -32604 will be returned instead of causing a disconnection.
QCB-31249	Qlik Sense Data Manager: Virtual proxy prefix was missing on /qrs/appcontent-related requests	The virtual proxy prefix was missing on requests related to /qrs/appcontent. As a result, a login dialog was displayed when uploading and deleting files in Data Manager. This has been fixed so uploading and deleting files no longer requires an additional login.
QCB-31187	Data Manager: Restored functionality of custom association preview	This error was caused by an update of the listbox. The fix makes the associations dialog work with the newer nebula listboxes. We've resolved an issue where the custom association preview in Data Manager was not functioning correctly. This problem occurred due to updates to the listbox component. The fix ensures that the associations dialog now works properly with the updated listbox.
QCB-31172	KPI Objects: Fixed color control display in property panel	We've resolved an issue where color controls in the property panel were sometimes missing for KPI objects with conditional colors enabled.
QCB-31142	Charts: Fixed "Show Value" functionality for dimension reference lines	We've resolved an issue where the "Show Value" option wasn't working correctly for dimension reference lines in charts.
QCB-31135	Containers: Resolved export issue for objects	We've fixed an issue that was preventing proper export of certain objects within containers. Specifically, the export to Excel functionality for pivot tables in containers now works correctly on small devices. This improvement ensures that users can successfully export data from these objects regardless of the device size they are using.
QCB-31131	Qlik Engine: Collapse after Expand All leaves an empty residual row in Pivot Table	Fixed a problem with collapsing a dimension after clicking on "Expand All" in a Pivot Table, which caused an empty residual row to remain visible.
QCB-31116	Map chart: Consistent time formatting in tooltips	We've resolved an issue where the value of the colors field would always use the default date and time formatting when shown in tooltips. This update ensures this value now matches the display of other fields.
QCB-31101	Sheet navigation for anonymous users	There was an issue where anonymous users could not navigate between sheets using the sheet buttons. This has been fixed.
QCB-31085	Expression Editor: Improved Focus Behavior in Sheets	We've enhanced the user experience when working with the Expression Editor in Sheets. Previously, users had to click inside the editor to activate the cursor and begin typing. With this update, the cursor is now automatically focused when opening the Expression Editor in a Sheet, allowing for immediate input.
QCB-31031	Reload Script download in Hub	Reload Script download was throwing error with introduction to xrf-key. We have introduced xrf-key in the reload script download URL.
QCB-30903	Responsiveness in Text & Image objects in stories downloading to PowerPoint	Fixed an issue where the text responsiveness in a Text & Image object did not behave correctly when downloading a story to PowerPoint.
QCB-30841	Bookmarks: Improved error handling for long set expressions in previews	We've enhanced the way Qlik Sense handles long set expressions in bookmark previews. Previously, when opening bookmark details, very long set expressions could cause errors in the preview field. We've improved this by implementing better error handling for such cases. It's important to note that this limitation only affects the preview functionality - there are no restrictions on the actual bookmark content or functionality. Long expressions will still be saved and work correctly, even if they can't be fully displayed in the preview.
QCB-30812	Chart View Data: Fixed Table Styling Issue	We've resolved a styling issue in the View Data feature for charts. Previously, when users selected "View Data" for a chart, the resulting table would incorrectly inherit styling properties from copied measures. This could lead to unexpected or inconsistent table appearances. With this fix, the View Data table now displays with its intended styling.
QCB-30758	Geo Analytics: After upgrade to Qlik Sense Nov 2024 the GA Plus connection hangs	After upgrading to Qlik Sense November 2024, the Geo Analytics Plus connection would indefinitely show "Please wait - analyzing the selected data". This was due to an issue in the field selection dialog which has been fixed.
QCB-30736	Qlik Sense Visualizations: Problems displaying URLs with + character in straight tables	The "+" character was encoded in links for the straight tables causing problems when displaying URLs. We stopped encoding this character so the URL will use the + character now.
QCB-30691	Hub: Fixed issue with hidden stream names appearing in work area	Previously, hidden stream names were visible in the work area of the hub page, even when the "Hide-emtpy-stream" setting was enabled. This issue has been resolved. Empty streams are now properly filtered out and will not appear in the work area title.
QCB-30680	Straight Table: Japanese Translation for Chart Exploration Fixed	We've resolved a translation issue in the Qlik Sense visualization bundle. Previously, the Chart Exploration feature in the straight table was not correctly translated into Japanese.
QCB-30670	Base Map: Enhanced character interpretation from OpenStreetMap	We've improved the interpretation of characters in the base map sourced from OpenStreetMap. This enhancement prevents certain characters from being displayed as '?' symbols.
QCB-30616	Task Chains: Updated behavior for distribution tasks	We've updated how distribution tasks behave in task chains. Now, distribution tasks will trigger the next task as soon as they reach the Queued state, even if the app distribution later fails. This change only applies when the next task is configured to run on Task Succeeded. This new behavior differs from other task types, such as reload tasks, which continue to trigger the next task only when they reach the Success state.
QCB-30152	Bookmarks: Fixed CreateBookmark API for Analyzer users	Fix: Analyzer user has hard coded implementation that allows only small case "bookmark". Making CreateBookmarAPI case insensitive in QRS. Previously, Analyzer users were unable to create bookmarks using the CreateBookmark API due to case sensitivity issues. This has been fixed, and the API now works correctly regardless of the case used in the 'bookmark' parameter.
QCB-29696	Ensure that there is no attempt to try to open or write files outside whitelisted folders	Fixed security issue where Engine would try to read and write to any path specified against Engine API. Solution of the fix adds path restrictions (with whitelisted folders) on e.g. OpenDoc and ExportApp, and restrictions to how relative paths are used in folder connections and lib references in the script. Relative paths should not be allowed to point outside of the scope set. It's not recommended to disable this fix, but can be disabled in case of emergency. To disable the fix, you need to add EnableQvfPathValidation=0 into Engine's Settings.ini file.
QCB-28088	Qlik Sense: Updated jQuery library to version v3.7.1	The jQuery used in "plant template" extension was outdated and affected by a vulnerability. This has been resolved by updating the jQuery library to version 3.7.1.
QCB-27979	ODAG links with a pipe character as domain/user separator	Fixed ODAG links for users that has a pipe character as a domain / user separator.
QCB-27204	Google BigQuery Connector: Fixed error handling for timestamp data outside supported range	We addressed an issue where the Google BigQuery Connector was unable to process timestamp data outside the range of years 1400-9999. Previously, this resulted in an error message stating 'the data contains unsupported data type or row content. Invalid row status'.
QB-30883	Navigation issue when switching panes in Assets panel of Insight Advisor	Fixed an issue where clicking 'Master items' in the Assets panel within Insight Advisor would instead take the user to the 'Fields' list.
QB-30855	Qlik Sense: 404 error in browser console	This fix removes a bug where a 404 error was shown in the web browser developer tools when loading an app.
QB-30851	App thumbnail not rendered correctly in certain configurations	Fixed an issue where if the Qlik Sense server was configured to use a URL prefix, apps with custom thumbnail images could receive a broken image rendered in the top bar instead of the actual thumbnail.
QB-30811	Fix for app thumbnail alt tag	The app thumbnail was missing an alt tag. Since the thumbnail is purely decorative, an empty alt tag has been added.
QB-30798	Non-deterministic subset of rows loaded from Parquet file	Fixed an issue where Parquet files would not load all rows for particular nested structures. The files had to contain a column with repeated pairs of data. Additionally, the number of repeats had to be changing over the file.
QB-30779	Qlik Sense: Issue with locked fields and section access after reload	Fixes an issue where locking a selection in an app with a section access caused the field to be included in the section access after a reload or partial reload, and the only available values after the reload were the ones that have been locked.
QB-30760	Selection bar contrast issue	In sheet view in an app, the background of the selection bar was dark enough to give the text low contrast. By brightening the background, the contrast has been increased, increasing readability of text.
QB-30730	Qlik Engine: Display error for null date or time values in Excel	When exporting a table containing null date or time values from an app into Excel, those values would be displayed using the wrong character. The values were incorrectly exported as numerical data instead of dates but the issue has been resolved.
QB-30680	Exploration menu translations not properly set up	The translations for the exploration menu in the new straight table were not properly setup
QB-30629	Qlik Sense: Unable to open tables with empty header in Excel	Exporting tables to Excel while "Table formatting" is enabled but with an empty header definition would make the resulting file corrupted and unable to be opened in Excel. This issue has been fixed.
QB-30494	Make soft patches more compact and portable to fix frozen stories	Frozen slides might happen while playing stories that contain Bookmark patches created for every value in an array. It is recommended to always create a replace patch for an array that has changed by a soft patch, rather than several patches on the elements of the array.
QB-30421	Qlik Sense: Error when downloading a PDF report using qlik-embed	When using qlik-embed to embed a classic/app the PDF preview was not working when exporting (or downloading) a chart, and returned a 401 error (Access denied). This was solved by ensuring requests for the iframe include authentication information.
QB-30332	Jumping from a chart before the correct one when selecting alternative dimensions or measures	The UI would jump before focusing on the correct chart when selecting alternative dimensions or measures on a sheet page with scrollbar. This has been fixed by applying a focus on the correct chart.
QB-30293	Qlik Sense: Broken color properties when copying and pasting a master measure to a KPI	If a master measure with 'Segment colors' enabled was copied from a Multi-KPI object or a bar chart, and pasted in a KPI object, the 'Conditional colors' menu would not displayed correctly for the KPI object. With this fix, by properly applying the initial properties of the measure when pasted, the color options work properly.
QB-30240	Qlik Reporting: Text objects styling not working when exporting stories	The style of text objects on stories, like the font size, was not correctly applied to exported PDF reports. This has been fixed and the PDF output now has the correct styles applied.
QB-30159	Updating Mapchart Show Layer always updates the first layer	When clearing a Show Layer checkbox, it would clear the other Show Layer checkbox. It has been fixed by applying a unique ID to each checkbox.
QB-30113	Fix for special characters in Parquet file name	An issue was identified in Qlik Sense involving a load script referencing a Parquet file, or path to a Parquet file, that contained special characters. The file did not load properly in the preview window before running a reload. The issue has been resolved.
QB-30110	Qlik Cloud Services: Fuzzy search using Latin characters returns Chinese characters first	Searching a term in a file using Latin characters would return terms with Chinese characters first in the results, even though they don't match. This was due to non-ascii characters, such as Chinese, not being supported for fuzzy search. The bug has been fixed and searches should now return the expected results.
QB-30045	Qlik Sense Visualizations: Layout container is slow during interactions	Fixed a performance problem in the layout container with many objects that were dynamically hidden and shown
QB-30008	Visualizations: Unable to select "None" as a header Totals background colors in the Straight Table	Fixed a problem where in some cases, parts of the straight table were white instead of transparent when background color was set to "None".
QB-29911	Qlik Sense: Engine times out when calculating dimensions in large applications	When trying to allocate large chunks of the local heap (between 1.2 GB and 2.4 GB) a bug would cause an infinite loop that could hang the engine process. The bug has been fixed.
QB-29866	Qlik Sense: libcurl library updates	The Presto driver now uses the libcurl.dll version 8.7.0.0. The libcurl library that was not used by the MSSQL driver has also been deleted.
QB-29726	Qlik Sense Engine: Certain formats breaking during excel export	Number formats including a space as separator, or a space before a currency symbol (ex:  # ##0$ or -# ##) would previously break when exported to excel.  With this fix  all characters preceding the first '#' and trailing the last '0' are now double quoted to ensure that these formats are properly interpreted in Excel.
QB-29627	Variables: long name and description could overflow the table cells	Making sure that long names and descriptions don't overflow the table cells by using ellipsis.
QB-29394	Qlik Sense: Multiple selections not working with qlik-embed	Fixed a problem that caused the input options in the qlik-embed tag for selections to be incorrectly handled when added to the classic/app URL in the iframe loading the UI.
QB-28716	Qlik Connectors: Unable to add filter conditions to SAP Extractor Connector	With this fix, it is possible to add new entries in the Conditions interface for the SAP Extractor connector again.
QB-28373	Improvements to Insight Advisor query interpretation	Regex support for date format mmm'YY (e.g., Jan'23) was added. Filter identification for Insight Advisor queries was improved.
QB-28310	Qlik Sense Connectors: SAP BW Connector condition fetches zero records	Using a condition to the field name int he WHERE condition was causing the connector to retrieve zero records. This has been fixed and the connector now seamlessly switches the field name for WHERE clauses when there is an alternative name to be used.
QB-26358	Visualizations: Text and scroll bars disappear in a text object	Fixed a problem where in a text object, the text would disappear when scrolling, and scroll bars were unavailable to scroll back up. Additionally, scrollbars have been implemented to ensure proper visual feedback when scrolling, allowing users to view and navigate the content smoothly.

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.
