Sharing Data Tables Between Apps Issue

I have a problem.

I wish to clone an app, but have the cloned app share the original app’s tables. Obviously when I clone it creates a copy of the tables.

I can’t delete the original tables (to re-add the shared tables) as it gives an error along the lines of I have to remove all reference to the tables in the code before I can delete the tables themselves. This would be tantamount to rebuilding the app!

How can I clone an app and share the original tables?

I tried to reproduce this by right-clicking the blue tab in the Data Tables Service and clicking ‘Remove from app’. This works for me in an app that has references to the table in the code - the app was cloned from another app. What’s the error you’re getting?

Ah, I was trying to delete the data tables service, which is obviously not what I want to do.

Well, it sort of is in that I want to remove all the tables, but I can do them individually.

Cheers.

Nice one, happy to help.
