MasterScript is a utility to easily import Qlik Sense master items from an external table via the Qlik application data model. For those situation where a bulk load of master items is necessary to load a business data dictionary to your application, then MasterScript is the tool for you!
When setting up the spreadsheet it appears that the column _MasterItemID would be used. However if I add a tag with the same value as a _MasterItemID it does not overwrite the existing item and creates a new one instead. Even more peculiar is that if I take the tag off of the newly created item, reload the app, and then re-import the master items it does successfully identify the one it created, updates it, and adds the tag back. It would be useful to be able to migrate an app that has lots of master items already defined to be managed by this extension. As it stands all master items would have to be recreated and then changed our in the objects that use them.
