Shared login feature in new apps

[mapgar]

I want to use the shared login feature between two applications
The reasons for this is detailed in this:

Yet another question about hiding client python source code

What I’m trying to do: Hide the client-side python source of the main application before the user logs in. To simplify: I want a Login form, and a Working form The Login form just handles login. If you do a view source on it, you see it makes a server call to whatever it uses in the server module to log in or maybe just something like: anvil.users.login_with_form() open_form('WorkingForm') It would not load the WorkingForm python code to the browser until after login I’m not as concerned w…

Regardless of the reasons, in an “old” application I can see the “Share login status with other apps”.

When creating new applications, that is not found on the option screen.

I tried adding share_login_status: true, in the services → client_config of the anvil.yaml file, but that seemed to have no effect (it did not show the option in the IDE, and it did not allow sharing the login status between two applications that shared the same user table).

Is this feature still supported?

To be clear: I was trying this in two “new” applications before I started modifying the old (much more complex) application. So neither of the applications I am trying to get this to work in have that option in the IDE

What happens if you simply re-name the automatically created users table in the “new” app (to anything other than ‘Users’), then share the Users table from the old app with the new app using add an existing table under the +Add a Table:

That is the way I used to do it a few years ago, and I know the existing table feature of the new IDE is only a few months old, so maybe that is why the tick is missing

If it does not work, then I guess the tick is missing for a better reason
