Automatic Aliases across workspaces

julius_gy Public · Dec 7 2021

Idea Summary
The check for a unique alias should happen across all workspaces on an instance. Currently the check is only performed for applications in the same workspace. If you import an app into another workspace the same alias will be  used which causes an error if you try to access any of the apps using that alias.

Use Case
It's useful in a multitenant environment.

Preferred Solution (Optional)
On import I would check across the entire instance for another app existing with the alias and if it does I will give the user an option during import to assign another alias since the alias being imported is not unique.

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.

    It should be noted that this is only an issue for legacy-style URLs; the Friendly URL syntax always include the workspace alias in the path.
