ViewsTableau Server: How to select/include specific sheets from a workbook (for exporting to PDF) *via* script / console / API?
In Tableau Server I'm trying to find a way to select specific sheets from a workbook (for exporting to PDF) via script / browser dev console / tabcmd / URL / API. Here's a real / live example, which can be played around with: https://help.tableau.com/current/api/js_api/en-us/JavaScriptAPI/js_api_sample_export_to_pdf.htm
So far I tried, inter alia, various JavaScript commands to get the right element and trigger a "click", but so far to no avail... the underlying *.js files reveal a lot but so far I had no luck in getting the proper handle.
(I managed to give the impression that the sheets were selected, i.e., the checkboxes were shown and ticked via my JavaScript, but that didn't budge the actual selection, e.g. the "2 of 6" in the screenshot above.)
