Multi Use ButtonAction Data

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 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

$#(serverUrl) will be replaced with the current url (protocol & hostname).
