Question

I have to build a new application that is similar to another one so I wish to clone the application with another name in the same environment. How can I do it? 
 Thanks

 Did you test that? Object identities and dependencies are based on UUIDs in the exported package. Without modifying these, that will not work.

Hello danielg424213 
 You will not be able to duplicate the application in the same environment unless you make changes to all the dependencies as Stefan mentioned. You will have to create a new application and then start duplicating your key objects which are the precedents to the workflows or the expressions. Once the duplication is done you will have to duplicate the objects that rely on the key objects and then make changes within in such a way that they refere the objects in your new application.

As Stefan suggested due to dependency on UUID, they are basically skipped from import assuming they already exist in the environment.

Hi danielg424213 you can export the current application and import it again by the changing the application name. Other way could create application with other name. And create the duplicates for the objects from main application
