Qlik Sense May 2025 uses sheet title expression instead of sheet title

[hadrienlp]

Hi all,

In Qlik Sense May 2025, I noticed that the navigation menu now displays the result of the sheet's title expression, rather than the static sheet title as before.

While I can see the intention behind this change — it adds dynamic context — it's unfortunately causing more confusion than clarity in my case.

I often use expressions in sheet titles based on current selections. For example:

= 'Revenues from ' & vStartDate & ' to ' & vEndDate & ' (' & vRegion & ')'

So now, instead of showing a clean name like “Revenues” in the navigation menu, I get something like:

“Revenues from 01.01.2025 to 31.03.2025 (EMEA, US)”,
which looks messy and bloated — especially when used across multiple sheets and apps.

Previously, the nav menu just displayed the static sheet title, and that was ideal for keeping navigation clean and user-friendly.

If not, could Qlik consider adding a setting or toggle to separate the navigation label from the title expression?

It would be great to either:

• Revert to the old behaviour

• Or allow us to define a "navigation label" explicitly in the sheet properties that would take priority.

Thanks in advance — and curious if others have the same issue!

Clarification on Sheet Title Expression Behavior in Qlik Sense May 2025

The behavior you’re observing is intentional and reflects a correction of a previous design limitation.

In Qlik Sense May 2025, the navigation menu now correctly displays the evaluated result of the sheet's title expression, rather than the static sheet title. This ensures consistency—if a title expression is defined, its dynamic output should be what users see.

This change addresses a design defect in earlier versions, where the presence of a title expression did not consistently affect what was shown in the navigation menu. That inconsistency has now been resolved to align with expected functionality.

We understand that while the dynamic context can be valuable, it may introduce unintended complexity in some scenarios. Feedback on how this affects user experience is appreciated and helps inform future improvements.

Well, it would be great if we can choose what to show in the Navigation Menu - either the Title or the Title Expression. As it was noted very often, we use the Sheet Expression to show let's say last refreshed time and we don't want this to be visible in the navigation menu buttons.
