Qlik Sense Straight Table Cell Edit (Comments Field)

[profilejamesbond]

Hi,

I have one sales table (straight table) in Qlik Sense similar to given below table.

Now, my user wants to write comments in the comments column. Do you know, how to enable Comments column for text writing?

Sales Table:

Product ID	Product Name	Sales	Date	Comments
1	Apple	101	30.01.2023
2	Orange	102	30.01.2023

Or is it possible to create new table with product id and comments column with editable comments cell? if yes, then how to achieve this ?

Thanks

You need a writeback extension for Qlik Sense its not in the native product you'll need to investigate what's out there to see what's suitable for your organisation and use case.  I've used Vizlib writeback extension which worked well but there are others.

QlikSense doesn't have the functionality to write comments on the fly in its default chart. You can check if any extension allows to do so.

@ogster1974 / @Aditya_Chitale Thank you for the reply.

Yes, I know about the write back extensions but I want to make my own.

Do you know how to make it ? or where to find good resources about extension writing?

Hi,

Straight tables in Qlik Sense are read-only by default, so editing a comments field directly in a cell isn’t supported natively.

You could look into SenseOps Writeback, which allows users to enter or update comments directly within the app and save those changes back to a database. It also supports user tracking, timestamps, and permission control.

This provides a clean way to make a comments column editable without developing a custom solution. Know More > >
