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

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

Hi [mention:8cdd6119fd07485ea8670348a7dd2045:e9ed411860ed4f2ba0265705b8793d05] 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

export the current application and import it again by the changing the application name

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

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.

Is this the only way to duplicate an app? It's a bit tiring if the application has many objects. Specifically, my app has 176!

You have a great approach! Cloning the application while renaming it can save time. Depending on your platform, you might be able to duplicate the codebase, adjust configurations, and rename necessary components. If using a framework, check for built-in cloning options. Be sure to update dependencies and database connections. Good luck with your new application!
