PowerApps for Teams - Create app from template.

Good afternoon hive mind.

 

As we create multiple internal canvas apps we have created an app template, this is so we don't have to recreate everything from scratch each time we create a new one.  We have separate publishers for all our solutions so they all get the publisher prefix for ease of separation as per best practice. 

 

I'm trying to create a process in PowerApps for Teams where we would take our app template as a starting point and effectively save as, rename it and assign it to it's solution so it inherits the publisher and prefix.

 

In normal PowerApps (browser based) this is an easy task as all I would do from a freshly created app within the solution would be to press CTRL + O.  I would then use the latest saved version of our app template msapp file.  Once saved it picks up the publisher prefix and away we go.  However, within PowerApps for Teams, CTRL + O doesn't work.

 

I can open up our app template and use the save as function but this creates it within the default solution, assigned it the default publisher so it gets the random default publisher prefix and I can't see a way of changing this.

 

Has anyone come up with a way to either replicate the CTRL + O functionality of full PowerApps, use the save as functionality and save it into a solution other than the default or something else that might work easily fully within the PowerApps for Teams environment?
