Resolution: A work-around solution is to disable Standard reload mode in Qlik Sense. This will enable using the script generated by Qlik Web Connectors directly in Qlik Sense without having to create a Web file connector. Instructions to disable Standard mode can be found on Qlik Sense help site at
