Export not including all screens when imported

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 16

Hi 

I am just starting with Power Apps and have created an application with 6 "screens" which runs against  4 data connections (which are basically 4 tables within an Excel document). I have exported the application through the export feature but when I come to import it into a different environment I only get the first couple of screens and a single data connection (I do get all the screens that are directly associated with the data source i.e. List, View and Edit - but there are screens that perform an update to this data source - but these have not been included) - what is also noticeable is that the icons on the List page that navigate to the missing screens have been removed.   

Is this normal behavior (i.e. only extracting for a single data source) or there something I need to do either to ensure the whole app is exported or imported (I did not see anything special on the import). Or more fundamentally should I have split this into multiple Apps .

What I have also noticed is that if I run my App from the List of Apps - I get the same issue (as per the imported app) i.e. it is as though the List,View,Edit screens are the only items in the solution, if I select Edit (from the List of Apps) and then run from inside the editor - I get my full solution.

   

What have I done wrong or failed to understand.

 

Many thanks

 

This is a model of my solution

    Hi @PAB1 

    The export feature exports the latest published version of an app. The most likely reason why the export doesn't include all the screens you expect is because you haven't published the latest version.

    This would also explain why when you run your app from the list of apps, it doesn't run the latest version.

    I wonder if that was the case - I have now published it and the "Run" is working as expected.

     

    Many thanks
