Key | Title | Description |
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-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-29868 | Visualizations: Adding access to clear all and delete buttons via keyboard | We have added the ability to navigate to the clear all and delete buttons using the keyboard, and announcing what they do through the screen reader. |

Title |
Description |
QB-29903 | "Not found" error on file preview and reload for some SFTP connections. | Depending on SFTP server, some valid connections returned the "not found" error on selecting file on preview or file reloading. This degrade is now fixed. |
QB-29610 | Qlik Engine: New optional parameter Hint for XIRR Aggregation function | When a Hint argument is provided, XIRR will pick the numerically closest valid answer it can find, which can be either a positive or a negative one. If no hint value is provided, it will always pick a positive solution before a negative one. |
QB-29492 | Qlik Sense Visualizations: Variance Waterfall fails to export as PDF or image | Fixed a problem introduced with the February 2024 release which prevented the exporting Variance waterfall to PDF or image. |
QB-29401 | Visualizations: Problem replacing invalid dimensions / measures master items | Fixed a problem where replacing dimensions or measures would sometimes fail if they were linked to a non-existing master dimension. |
QB-29232 | Qlik Sense Visualizations: The 'More' menu in the filter pane displayed incorrectly | The 'More' menu in filter panes displayed incorrectly under other objects or the assets panel. |
QB-29043 | Qlik Engine: Distinct count on key fields incorrectly handling key subsets in reports | In reporting mode, a set expression with a distinct count over a key field was not always calculated correctly. The calculation outcome depended on the table load order and the subset relation of the key in the tables. The reporting calculation now builds an invariant and well-determined field and table state. |
QB-29033 | Qlik Sense Platform: WebSocket connection lost | Fixed a problem that would, in some cases, throw an exception that caused the loop WebSocket listener to terminate. |
QB-29018 | Qlik Sense Engine: Incorrect library function used for deleting an element from object array | While updating the properties cache for DeleteChild operation, the library function used to remove an element from the childlist object array causes the last element to be moved to the deleted element index. This causes the original order of remaining elements to be changed. Fix is added to use the library function which preserves the order of remaining elements. |
QB-29009 | Visualizations: Problems with sheet navigation | Fixed a problem that intermittently prevented opening apps, adding new sheets, and navigating existing sheets. This was solved by optimizing the reranking of sheets whenever there are rank conflicts. |
QB-28873 | Qlik License: Captcha box not always visible on the the Signed License Definition | Fixed a problem where the Captcha box was not always visible on the Signed License Definition site. |
QB-28865 | Qlik Sense Visualizations: Cannot set or unset bookmark as default | Fixed a problem that prevented the setting or unsetting of the default bookmark within an app. |
QB-28864 | Qlik Engine: Window script function converts Nulls to text | Fixed a problem where the window function would incorrectly translate loaded null fields to '-' which could then be selected. With this fix, the handling of null values is corrected and null fields remain null. |
QB-28741 | Qlik Sense Visualizations: The listbox 'More' menu for tables and pivot tables closed without changes | When selecting one of the options in the listbox 'More' menu, it closed without applying the changes. The selections are now applied correctly instead of closing the menu. |
QB-28727 | Visualizations: Not possible to search for bookmark | Now validating bookmark creation date before the formatting date. |
QB-28658 | Visualizations: Sheet styles not working for newly created apps | Fixed a problem where sheet styles did not persist on new apps. Properties are now bound to the visual elements which show the changes. |
QB-28630 | Visualizations: Incorrect position of data points on a line chart | Fixed a problem that caused data points to be incorrectly positioned on small screens or when zooming to 125%. |
QB-28611 | Qlik Engine: Lineage data API is not working when using Preceding LOAD | Fixed a problem where the /v1/apps/{appId}/data/lineage API returned an empty discriminator for Load From statements with a preceding load. |
QB-28589 | Qlik Sense Visualizations: Field titles missing in Chart Exploration | Alternative columns were initially shown without proper titles in the new Qlik Sense straight table's chart exploration. This happened during sheet editing and when users worked with the exploration feature to add and remove columns. |
QB-28453 | Qlik Sense Engine: Dynamic scripts in charts did not add or replace values in the correct rows | When evaluated in a chart, the dynamic scripts did not have access to the context information used to access the source rows. Therefore, they only used one row for all additions and replacements. |
QB-28451 | Qlik Sense Engine: Dynamic scripts were not evaluated when expected | The engine only checked if a chart contained expressions when determining if it should be evaluated as a table or a hypercube. This meant that any hypercube modifiers such as dynamic scripts were ignored if the chart did not contain an expression. |
QB-28426 | Qlik Enterprise Connectors: Amazon Redshift populating duplicate columns | This enhancement addresses an issue where duplicate columns were being fetched when schemas with the same name existed in both the external schema and the Datashare schema. Now, columns are retrieved only from the selected database schema, ensuring accurate data retrieval and eliminating duplicate columns. |
QB-28406 | Qlik Sense: Axios security issue | Fixed a security issue caused by Qlik Sense using an old version of Axios. The was resolved by updating the version of Axios used by Qlik Sense. |
QB-28395 | Qlik Sense: Tooltips do not display for selected dimensions | Fixed a problem that prevented the display of tooltips for selected dimensions in Associative insights. This was due to a missing attribute which has now been restored. |
QB-28392 | Qlik Enterprise Connectors: Google Big Query Connector - Select dialog | Changing the catalog from dropdown did not refresh the list of databases. |
QB-28299 | Qlik Sense Engine: The Concat function resulted in a faulty lineage | In some cases, when the Concat function was used in combination with the FROM load statement, the Concat function did not add the correct sources for a field, resulting in an faulty lineage graph. The faulty graph assumed that the sources were present and therefore incremented an internal index, which resulted in incorrect relations between nodes. Support for the Concat function has been added for lineage and it will now properly add the sources. |
QB-28201 | Qlik Engine: Iterator is shown as a non-integer when using large values | Fixed a problem with the string conversion method used in a FOR loop, which caused formatting issues when handling large values. |
QB-28142 | Qlik Sense Engine: Missing privileges for connections | Fixed a problem where connections that were fetched using REST API were missing privileges. This would cause the Add data button to be missing from the connection Attached Files. |
QB-27988 | Qlik Engine: Syntax error on tab during script execution | Fixed a LOAD script parsing problem when the WHERE clause contains "(". |
QB-27933 | Qlik Sense: Date picker library is outdated | Updated momentJS to the latest version. |
QB-27902 | Qlik Sense Engine: Hypercube modifier REPLACE LOAD sourced data incorrectly and added rows to chart | When REPLACE LOAD was used in a dynamic chart script, it was using only one row for the source data regardless of the actual number of source rows. It also incorrectly added rows to the chart. |
QB-27821 | Resolved UI issue: Restored internal menu functionality in Dev Hub | In the Mashup editor in Dev Hub, the 'Menu' button in the toolbar was inadvertently replaced with a 'Help' button. The issue is resolved and access to the 'Menu' button has been restored. |
QB-27754 | Qlik Sense: CORS error blocks external API requests | Fixed an issue with CORS (Cross-Origin Resource Sharing) requests that were blocked when making external API requests. The issue was related to the handling of the "withCredentials" option in the requests. |
QB-27751 | Qlik Sense Visualizations: Overflow on button labels was not displaying correctly with ellipses | The button labels were missing settings for text overflow. CSS settings were added and now the labels work as expected. |
QB-27657 | Qlik Sense Engine: Parquet file not deleted | Parquet files were in some cases not deleted after being used. This has been fixed by not using the MemoryMap option when opening Parquet files for reading when the files have been downloaded using a web connector. |
QB-27639 | Schedule reload task using custom schedule | When adding a custom filter, some valid format options produced an error. |
QB-27632 | Qlik Sense Engine: Incorrect format when exporting a table containing dates | When exporting a table containing dates to Microsoft Excel, the date fields were exported in numeric format, instead of formatted date/time. This has been fixed by treating unformatted date/time values as formatted Excel date/time fields, using default formats that adjust to the viewer's locale. |
QB-27623 | "Show totals above" option is missing when converting native Pivot table to Pivot table (Visualization bundle) | An issue was identified in which the "Show totals above" option" is not shown when converting a native Pivot table to the Pivot table from the Visualization bundle. The issue has been resolved by adjusting a setting for indent mode. |
QB-27565 | Qlik Sense Visualizations: Added sanity check for invalid column width values, preventing view data crashing | Possibly due to converting a table to a pivot table, the, the values stored in the pivot table properties for column widths were incorrect. When the view data mode was selected, those incorrect values caused the chart to crash. A sanity check has been added to prevent the crash. |
QB-27477 | Qlik Engine: Tables with the same expression show different results | Fixed a problem when SET analysis constraints did not correctly limit the number of rows in the hypercube, leading to inconsistent results for the same expression. |
QB-27393 | Visualizations: Filter pane selection options are not displayed | Fixed a problem where expanding a filter pane caused the buttons for making different selection options (such as more, clear selection, cancel, and confirm) were not displayed. |
QB-27352 | Qlik sense Visualizations: Selection popup and bar is blank when using getGlobal method in a mashup | Fixed a problem where listboxes within mashups could stop working. This problem occurred specifically for mashups created using the Capability API and calling the qlik.getGlobal function. |
QB-27348 | Qlik Enterprise Connectors: Invalid Session Token error for Amazon Athena connections | Resolved an issue with the Amazon Athena connector when using a proxy with user name and password to authenticate the connection. The resolution involved fixing the authentication process so that the Proxy Username value entered by the user is properly forwarded to the driver. |
QB-27277 | Qlik Sense Visualizations: Data Manager custom association field preview not working | Fixed a problem that caused the preview of the custom association fields to stop working when selecting which fields to associate the tables with. |
QB-27237 | Qlik Sense: Custom Trigger with double digits causes custom filter validation error | Custom filter now allows the use of double digits for the hourly position for Tasks in the Qlik Management Console. |
QB-27227 | Bar chart label incorrect when the result is 1.95 | Fixed floating error on formatting. |
QB-27147 | Qlik Sense Visualizations: Qlik Sense icon not showing in apps on May 2024 IR | Fixed a problem that caused the favicon to disappear on some apps. |
QB-27108 | Visualizations: Exporting object with styling fails | Fixed a problem where exporting any object with shadow values as an image would fail. This was solved by disabling chart shadows on server printing. |
QB-27008 | Qlik Sense Visualizations: "Color by expression" not working in a dimensionless barchart | Fixed an issue where you could not switch to "Color by expression" in a dimensionless barchart and instead it defaulted to single color. |
QB-27006 | Qlik Sense Visualizations: Incorrect CSS for overflowing content | When the content of a multi KPI could not fit in the height of the object, the data could end up inaccessible to users. By correcting the CSS, the data can always scrolled to the data. |
QB-26965 | Qlik Sense Visualizations: Incorrect rendering of heatmap | Fixed a floating error in calculating the number of rows and columns that caused heatmaps to render incorrectly. |
QB-26946 | Qlik Mobile zooming issue | Prevented users from interacting with a chart in a small device if the browser is zoomed in. |
QB-26936 | Qlik Sense Engine: Select and search methods fail to parse search strings starting with certain characters | Search strings starting with any of the following characters: <>\"~()='[] would not be parsed correctly when the user was expecting an exact search. A fix was added which will allow users to force an exact search by adding an extra backslash "\" before any of the special characters (for example, to search for "<x>" enter the search string "\<x>"). This fix is disabled by default. To enable it, update the Settings.ini file to include "EnableSpecialCharacterEscapingInSearch = 1". |
QB-26902 | Qlik Sense Visualizations: The button object was unclickable in a mashup if the label was too long | Buttons with long labels are now clickable within a mashup. |
QB-26880 | Qlik Web Connectors: Files stored in a team folder are inaccessible through the Dropbox connector | A new connection parameter was added to access Dropbox team folders and files. The root parameter allows the selection of team root if it's available for authenticated users. |
QB-26872 | Qlik Sense Engine: Resolving issues from open app performance enhancements | There were some issues with connection deletion behavior after implementing performance enhancements for opening apps. These have been resolved. |
QB-26840 | Qlik Sense Engine: The <CreatorDoc> tag is empty in QVDs created with Qlik Sense February 2024 | Fixed a problem where the <CreatorDoc> tag in the metadata of QVD files created with Qlik Sense February 2024 was empty, instead of showing the app ID that generated the QVD. <CreatorDoc> tags are now written from the STORE statement, even if the format spec is omitted. |
QB-26786 | Qlik Sense Visualizations: Alternative measure & dimension dropdown was not updating correctly | The alternative measure & dimension dropdown did not update correctly when a user edited a chart. This issue has been fixed. |
QB-26669 | Qlik Sense Engine: Problem exporting straight table to Excel | Fixed a problem with handling the pre-generated format string for Euro during Excel export from the Qlik Engine. |
QB-26657 | Qlik Sense Visualizations: Qlik extensions lost custom properties after server restart |
Three extensions did not have the version specified correctly: The versions are now updated properly in all files for these extensions |
QB-26613 | Qlik Engine: Dimension created with Aggr function does not fully support selection | Fixed an issue that would cause some apps to have a limited ability to make selections in a dimension created using the Aggr function. |
QB-26558 | Qlik Engine: Connector performance reload issues in Qlik Sense February 2024 | The Select Statement Lineage for Sense Server has been disabled as it served no purpose in Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows. This was causing issues with some connectors by making irrelevant calls in Sense Server. |
QB-26530 | Qlik Sense: Custom Cache Control settings not maintained with server reboot | Enhanced the Hub service to use a retry mechanism, allowing it to wait for the QRS API's /ContentCacheControl endpoint to respond. |
QB-26504 | Qlik Cloud Engine: Line Chart not showing all values for X-axis | Fixed an issue that would, in some apps, exclude the highest magnitude dimension value from a chart using a continuous x-axis. This could happen when the data point's x-axis value was encoded using more than the 15-digit precision used in the QIX Engine |
QB-26486 | Qlik Sense on Windows: Straight table columns unusable with auto width | Fixed a problem where columns in straight tables using auto width became unusable. The minimum width has been increased to 120px. |
QB-26447 | Visualizations: Some table column headers do not wrap | Due to an indexing error in the table code, the showing/hiding header icons and wrapping header text, were based on the wrong column. These calculations now use the correct index and the text wrap and icons are shown correctly. |
QB-26407 | Qlik Sense: Node.js updated | Node.js has been updated to version 18.20.4. |
QB-26392 | Qlik Sense on Windows: Failing requests to fetch custom brand spam console | Fixed a problem where requests specific to the Qlik Cloud Services offering were made on Qlik Sense Enterprise for Windows deployment causing the failing requests to spam the console. |
QB-26205 | Visualizations: Cannot rearrange columns in the new Straight Table | Fixed a problem where columns could not be rearranged in the new straight table if the table had conditional columns. |
QB-26199 | Visualizations: Undo button not working | Fixed a problem where the undo button was unresponsive after unlinking a master dimension. |
QB-26192 | Connection issues after access token expiration | Dependent connection parameters were not being properly passed when re-authenticating after access token expiration for several connectors, and the default values for these parameters were being used instead. This fix correctly passes in the necessary parameters. This issue affected the Azure Storage, MSCRM, OneDrive, Office365, and Outlook365 connectors. |
QB-26106 | Qlik Engine: HypercubeEvaluator calculation error | Fixed a problem in a hypercube calculation that returned a row even when the selection result was empty. After the fix now rows should be returned. |
QB-26098 | Scatter plot labels | Fixed a problem with the rendering of the scatter plot during changes in viewing data. |
QB-25981 | Incorrect translation: Japanese | Corrected the Japanese translation for "Sorting in search" when working with pivot tables. |
QB-25920 | Qlik Engine: Unable to filter text values of QVD in Data Manager | Fixed a problem where the filtering of a text field for QVD files was not working. If the field type was a string but the filter value was a number (for example: 1), the filter would not work. This has been fixed by forcing the columns to be interpreted as text. |
QB-25909 | Qlik Sense on Windows: Unsupported trigger time zone reported as (GMT + 0000) | This adds a fix for setting Daylight Savings Time to Permanent Standard Time if the time zone is not supported by the Qlik Management Console (QMC). |
QB-25871 | Qlik Engine: Cannot reference iterator value using $() in chart script | In a chart script, the iterator in a "For… Next" loop could not be used in a dollar expansion expression. This has now been fixed. |
QB-25773 | Visualizations: Inconsistent behavior when pressing home/end keys | Fixed a problem that caused inconsistent behavior when pressing the home/end in the search listbox of a filter pane. |
QB-25730 | Qlik Sense Engine: Inner set expression issue when outer set expression is present | Fixed an issue that caused the miscalculation of inner set expressions when outer set expressions were present. The inner set expression {<Field1=StateA::Field1>} will now read Field1 correctly from StateA even when an outer set expression is present. |
QB-25031 | Qlik Web Connectors: Unable to load data from Odata database via Qlik Odata connector | Fixed a problem where a "System.OutOfMemoryException" would be thrown if the OData connector returned a large response. This was solved by accepting smaller values in the Max depth parameter. Additionally, new tables have been added to retrieve information (V4GetSchemas, V4GetEntities, and V4GetProperties). |
QB-25016 | Qlik Sense: Issue with display scaling on Qlik Sense on Windows February 2024 | Fixed a problem with scaling present on high DPI monitors. |
QB-24997 | Qlik Sense on Windows: Exception importing sheets to NPrinting May 2023 | Fixed a problem on the main-web-container component shipped with QSEoW that caused NPrinting exports of extended Sense sheets to fail when a Sense app carded theme was used. |
QB-24968 | Qlik Web Connectors: Error when importing a table using the Qlik ODATA connector | Fixed a problem that caused an error ("Sequence contains no elements") when retrieving data from the JsonV4GetData table. With this fix, paces in path parameter values are now processed correctly. |
QB-24536 | Data Prep & Insights: Import from SharePoint fails with error message | For some connectors, the same QVD ID (file name) was generated for two table sources, resulting in an error message ("Data could not be added to Data Manager"). We have changed how the QVD ID is generated by adding a load statement and including it in the text to generate the hash. |
QB-23881 | Qlik Sense: User details exposed in WebSockets (CWE-200 | Fixed a vulnerability problem where user details were exposed in WebSockets (CWE-200 information exposure). This was solved by hiding the owner data for Anonymous User Context in AppPropList and the Owner data in the Hub App Card for Anonymous User Context. |
QB-23565 | Improved HTTP header validation | Improved HTTP communication by providing additional header validations. |
The following issues and limitations were identified at release time. The list is not comprehensive but lists all known major issues and limitations.
