Add Qlik Sense Cloud support to Ctrl-Q

[mountaindude]

While the Application Automation features of Qlik Sense Cloud let you (for example) read master item definitions from an Excel file and insert them into Sense Cloud apps, that does not really play nicely with CI/CD pipelines and it requires rather technical skills.

It also uses Application Automation executions that may be in short supply in some Sense Cloud tenants.

Ctrl-Q does these things very nicely for on-premise Qlik Sense.
Adding similar features for Cloud would be a major change to Ctrl-Q - but a useful one.

Something like this:

• All definitions of master items, variables and other metadata would be defined in files on local disk, rather than in Sense cloud itself. This makes them easy to edit, update, version control in Git etc.
• Interaction with Qlik Sense Cloud will happen via its (excellent!) APIs, using established methods of authentication.
• Will (arguably - but it's a subjective opinion of course) be easier to use than creating/adopting Application Automation scripts.
• Visual variants can be added to Ctrl-Q NR (i.e. the Qlik Sense module for Node-RED, which is a very well established, cross platform low-code environment. More info here.
