Master Dimensions are not being displayed in Selection Tools screen

Some of the master dimension in the Qlik Sense app cannot be seen in the selection tool.
Calculated dimension are not be displayed by design, and this is a current product limitation, but you can expect that a Master Dimension with a single field as expression would be displayed.

Environment

Cause:

The problem occurs when a Master Dimension is created using the left bar of Qlik Sense app. In this case, Sense will automatically add the '=' sign to the field you import.
So the master dimension is considered as a calculated dimension and not shown by the selection tool

Resolution:

It is necessary to avoid the "=" in the master dimension.
Here are the steps to follow.

Go to Assets panel, Master items, Dimensions, "Create new" .
Find the "Create new dimensions" window.
Select a field in the list. Qlik Sense suggest a dimension with his field and name
Click on Add dimension. The dimension is added without "=" .

hello,

it's difficult to read that the MasterItem must be exactly the same as a field to be displayed in the selections.

because all of these positions make it impossible to manage an industrial and multi-language application.

It's too easy to say, "it's by design", only to mask a real bug or your application

It would be nice if you can define your own 10 most selected items (master items) in the selection area. I have more dan 25 master items, but want to show as default only ~8 items. But not on anfabetical order but on a functional order (most used selections)
