Copy Selections in Ajax copies only the visible selections
Article Number: 000084543 | Last Modified: 2019/10/07Description
The "Copy Selections to clipboard" option in a Listbox, instead of copying all the selections, only copies the visible ones plus 1.
Step by step instructions:- Create a listbox with many values in a QVW. The listbox must have a scroll bar because many of the values are not visible.
- Open the QVW in Ajax
- Select some value on the list box. Use the scroll bar because many of the selected values should not be visible
- Right click on the listbox and choose "Copy Selections to clipboard".
- Copy the selection in a text file
- Notice that only the visible selections +1 have been copied
- QlikView 12.20 and higher releases
Cause
This is not considered as a functional defect, but as an incorrect naming. So, starting from QlikView 2019 November release, the feature will be called "Copy visible selections to clipboard".
Resolution
An option to get all selected is to use "Export to Excel" and copy from there instead.
Another possible workaround is to enlarge the list box so that all the selections are visible.
A feature request has been opened to make this feature copying all selection, but a possible release date is not known yet.
