🐛 Bug report

On Qlik:

With Nebula:

Nothing happens while clicking on the axis label of Nebula bar chart

1. embed a bar chart with Nebula which has multiple measures
2. click on the axis label to choose the desired measure
3. nothing happens! 💥

Expected behavior

Ability to select the desired measure on axis label click, like in Qlik.

Actual behavior

Nothing happens on axis label click.

Versions

any idea @Caele ?

After so many answers... I finally found a way to workaround this issue after reading this: https://community.qlik.com/t5/Integration-Extension-APIs/Engine-API-Get-Object-layout-for-an-Alternate-Dimension/td-p/1670667

The workaround is to implement a select yourself:

• options for the select can be obtained using getProperties() on the generic object then build an array with [...qHyperCubeDef.qDimensions, ...qHyperCubeDef.qLayoutExclude.qHyperCubeDef.qDimensions] to get all available dimensions
• the current dimension is in qHyperCubeDef.qDimensions[0]
• for measures, remplace qDimensions by qMeasures
• dimensions labels are in qDef.qFieldLabels[0] but for measures labels 2 additional API calls are needed: doc.getMeasure(id).then(qMeasure => qMeasure.getLayout()) (id is from qLibraryId) then label is in qMeta.title
• to change the current dimension/measure, use applyPatches method on the generic object as described in the discussion provided at the beginning of that comment.

Good luck...

This is due to the logic for the alternative dim/measure selection is done in the actual client UI, and not in the individual charts or Nebula. This exists on our roadmap, but continues to be pushed low. I currently have no timeline.
