Action data v1.20.0+
The MultiUseButton allows you to use created values from previous actions. For example, you could create the content of a file with the create text action and use the data from that action as the content for the download file action.
Actions require a name to allow usage of this data.
Using the syntax $a(actionName) will replace that part with the value from the action data, if possible.
In combination with the the create text action this offers some unique functionality.
Here are some examples:
- Create a fully customizable XML file based on your Qlik data
- Create a complex JSON body to be used in the API call action
- Use the result of an API call in further actions
- Create a specific text, copied directly to the clipboard
