[BETA]: how to convert form file to package format?

Anvil Q&A

What I’m trying to do:
In the BETA IDE, convert a form (.py + .yaml file) into a package (folder + files).

What I’ve tried and what’s not working:

  1. Use the drop-down menu: image
    Alas, “Convert to Package” is not there.

  2. Right-click the highlighted item. Same menu pops up if I click in the highlighted area, or on the three-button dropdown menu. The browser’s generic menu pops up if I click in the unhighlighted area just to its left.

  3. Right-click the page’s tab in the IDE. A different menu pops up, but “Convert to Package” is not one of the options.

Am I missing something?

Looking at the Classic editor, I don’t think this was ever an option. I also know you can’t convert Forms/Modules to Modules/Forms.

If you Git Clone the app and then delete the form_template.yaml, I think that should convert it to a package.

This is one of those - for now, you’ll have to switch back to the classic editor to do that - moments
