Can't copy existing app

[BramS]

Hi,

I'm in the community edition and I'd like to build an app using a previously built app as a baseline.

When I log into SAP Build Apps and I try to copy an existing app in the My Apps screen using the little copy icon, I get the following error:

Is there anything I can do on my end or is this a bug somewhere?

Thanks in advance for the help!

Same here, and for weeks now...
Since we can't rename an APP after an import...
We can no longer save our work (copying is the only solution).
I think "Build Apps" is dead. It's very sad, it's by far the best free no-code platform!
We can no longer take the risk of working with these tools without any guarantee of longevity.

Same problem here - says "Failed to copy the app!" - any progress here? It's quiet from the SAP side, is this Build Apps no longer maintained at all?

Dear Timo,

Could we have an answer? We still get the message 'cannot copy app'. Also if we want to upload a file, could you lift the file size to higher level like 500MB? 

Thank you for your attention

Best regards

Hi, I'm terribly sorry that you have had to wait this long. I'll check the issue and try to sneak the fix in to the next release.

Thank you Pekka, looking forward.

Maybe bringing back the possibility to rename an app would be also possible?

Thanks.

Yeah, I stumbled on this when I was fixing the copy stuff. Might get fixed soon or then not. But yeah, I agree that not being able to change the name is a bit annoying.

[agpekka]

Unfortunately the release was moved to next week. So on Mon copying should again be possible.
Note that you should already now be able to copy any app by just exporting the app and creating a new one from that file.

Hi @agpekka 

Thank you.

[agpekka]

Äh, sorry, I mixed things up. The fix did not get in time for the release today, hopefully we get the next release out on this week Thu.

Thank you for following up @agpekka:

Kindly be advised of 2 closely related issues:

• Unable to Rename Apps in SAP Build Apps - Free Edition
• Unable to export SAP Build Apps source (.gpg)

We waited for a resolution for weeks but to no avail. Please advise. Thank you 🙏😊...

Hi @agpekka 

If you could please expedite this matter, we all are waiting for this to be fixed. Pls also check the renaming of apps as this too does not work at all.

Dear Pekka @agpekka ,

The copy app is now functional, thank you. 

We are still missing the app renaming function.

Concerning the file loading when creating new app, could you please upload the threshold of file size to 400 or 500MB?

Thank you for your attention

Best regards

Chantal
