Cannot rename app

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by ITCareNV 574

Dear readers

 

Today i tried to rename an PowerApp but came into a limitation where i could not do this.

I have renamed my apps before without any problems, but seems i can't rename any off my apps of which i am owner.

 

I followed this offcourse: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/maker/canvas-apps/set-name-tile

but this doesn't work, i can't edit it, field seems to be readonly somehow ... (see attachments)

 

Any ideas because this seems to be one of the simplest thing to do right ?

Thank you in advance.

    Hi dimi,

     

    In addition, please take a try with the Save as option under the File tab.

    The Next time when you encounter this issue, please also take a try to add an additional control, then delete it, after that, check to see if you could save the App.

     

    Regards,

    Michael
