Copying an App - Save As Not Working

[ressery]

Hi,

I am a regular user of PowerApps but today I cannot copy an app.

I am trying to create a copy of my app using "Save As", as I usually do. (It was working perfectly fine on Monday)

Today, this keeps happening.

{"error":{"code":"ApplicationAlreadyExists","message":"The application '1f15534a-bf57-41e3-a630-78b5a4557f85' already exists and cannot be newly created via the POST operation. Please specify a different name or use PUT to update the existing application."}}

Session ID: 1cac29e7-ccfd-4fd6-9646-1de06d3c2672

Doesn't matter which app I try and copy, or what name I give it, I get the same error. A colleague has also tried and gets the same error.  I have tried clearing my browser history, turning my laptop off and on again. Nothing seams to clear the error. This is an app that I copy on a weekly basis for each of our projects so I am not trying to do anything new.

 

Is anyone else having the same issue or has anyone managed to fix it?

Doesn't work! 😭

This issue was reported by our system administrator yesterday. We have answer from MS but unuseful. The issue is very deep, my opinion.

Agreed, just managed to report it myself. Got a response with this work around but I haven't tried it yet.

They have now also confirmed Microsoft are aware of the problem and are working on it.

Having the same issue. Save As has worked fine for more than 7 months for us, and now it doesn't work. This is a very important feature... we have 2 separate environments... Test and Prod and I need to be able to overwrite the Prod code with the Test code. Hopefully this will be resolved soon !

Hi, 
Why not check this out to manage Application Life Management 
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-platform/alm/pipelines

This is a model-driven app that can help with moving app with the solutions package from Test to Prod 
I can always assist if an error pops up

I tried exporting the package and re-importing it, but nothing happened. I didn't get any errors, import said it worked, but it never appeared.

Are u importing to the same environment? 

Could you check inside your solutions folder and see the pipeline history 

[cathyAnd]

Thank you so much for your help with this. We only have one environment (govt). I can see the history, although I'm not sure which one it is because every department is working within the same environment for Power Platform. When I go into the history, I do not see what you see, I just have a few details but that's it. It was so easy with the Save As... Dev to Test and then Test to Prod.

I also have this issue 😞

I've been facing the same problem for 3 days and I couldn't find a solution other than saving normally (CTRL+S) and publishing after each change.
It's a tiring and ridiculous solution but I couldn't think of anything else. 😐
I think there is a problem with the latest update.
