Copy record data when duplicating app

When working on an update to an app it would be good if there was the option to make a duplication of the original app with all the data to serve as a "roll back" option

We are looking into solutions to streamline the process of testing app updates and merging changes back to the original app. If you are interested in meeting with our product team to discuss your workflows and provide feedback, please let me know!

Hi Katie Briggs, we have implemented a sort of workaround for this, so happy to provide feedback if needed!

Stefano Pompei Great! I just emailed you to set up a time.

Agreed. Last time I made major changes to an app, I first I cloned the app, exported my data, tried to import it into the new app so I knew I had a functional backup, and was failed because it said another app already had data with the same record ID. So, I went ahead and updated my original app without knowing I had a working backup. Scary. Please make "clone app with all data to a new app" as a single-click push-button option, perhaps under he export screen.
