Selected indicators are not shown

Post by TobiGö »

Hello,
I have imported a dataset and it is displayed as usable. If I want to select the indicators for the model, almost all imported variables are displayed, with a few exceptions. However, these variables are displayed in the imported data set. Unfortunately, I don't know what to do to make them appear as potential indicators for the model. Can anyone help me?
Thank you very much.

This is a Screenshot of a missing variable in the indicator list:

Most common problem is that people have selected a filter in the indicators list. There are three options: 1) Show all, 2) Show only used, 3) Show only unused indicators.

Sometimes variable names also contain special characters that prevent display in the indicators list or model.

Thank you for the advice.
Unfortunately it's neither a filter nor the name of the item (as shown in the example).

Do you have any other ideas?
