Rename all objects

dawids0001 over 5 years ago

Hello there,

I have a simple question.

Can i rename all objects in appian? What i mean - I got one aplication that i'd like to copy and paste but just change prefix of all objects inside for example:

Object in first aplication is AA_s_SampleInterface but i'd like to create another aplication and just import from the first one all objects but then change AA into CA. My Appian version is 18.1

All manual changes will take too much time
Thank you in advance Dawid

You can't rename all application objects at once, you need to do it manually.

Firstly i added to patch all my object from first application then create new one and add them as a import patch. But now i would like to change all name prefix from AA to CA because now when i change something in let's say new object it affects my first application which is bad :(

yes, because it will be making the change in old objects only, new objects are not created by importing in same environment

So i have to just create new object and then copy the code from first application object and paste into new one? Repeat with all ~400 objects?

You can create new objects from existing objects and give the name you want to the new, all codes will be copied in that object

AFAIK, this is a way of creating duplicate objects with different name.
