I have managed to make duplicate environment variables for my sharepoint lists in dev, and even a duplicate variable for the site, in one of my solutions. Now test points to the dev sharepoint, and I'm not entirely sure how to clean it up. My environment variable for the lists, when I open up, have a red bar warning at the top saying No SharePoint site value was found.
I dont have an admin - the 'admins' i have have mostly been trained by me (i started working in power apps 6 months ago). I havent found any resources on line that help me understand how to clean up my mess.
Any suggestions?
The problem is i tried to rename an environment variable, then everything broke. Someone suggested removing and re-adding the tables to the solution, but i had the 'automatically create new env variables' turned on so it created a whole new set for all 23 tables. I'm no longer willing to poke around and do whatever to maek it work in dev and test because the variables are all (except 1) already in use in prod and I dont want to break prod when i migrate my next set of changes.
I had a meeting with our state IT org (i'm contracting in a state gov't agency) and after they tried a few things, they put in a ticket w Microsoft - we'll meet Wednesday. The Microsoft tech did say there is a bug and suggested having the environment variables in a separate solution from teh apps, but obviously i need to understand exactly how to clean up my mess first!
and of course while all this was going on, the other person on the team - who is mostly PowerBI - decided to play with power automate and went in and set a default value for one of the variables!

this no need to worry it comes that way not an issue.

you should not do that . lets day you have two variables site1 and site2 both referring to same site. if you use them both in powerapp even though you are using two different variables it only takes one
