Enhance "Copy application" feature

sameer Public · Aug 2 2023

Idea Summary:
Enhance the "Copy Application" feature in Oracle APEX to allow users to selectively choose the required shared component items during the copying process.

Use Case:
Developers frequently create new applications based on existing ones in Oracle APEX. The current "Copy Application" feature duplicates all shared component items, leading to clutter and potential conflicts in the new application. This enhancement will give users control over which shared components to include, resulting in cleaner and more streamlined applications.

Preferred Solution:
During the "Copy Application" process, add a step where users can review and select shared component and it's items to include. Present a list of these items with checkboxes for inclusion/exclusion. This feature empowers developers to create more efficient applications and improves the overall user experience.

We reviewed this idea carefully, and while it was interesting, we concluded that due to all the internal implications we need to take into account, it is unlikely to make its way into APEX.
