Copy Single Table from One App to Another

Hi there,  deploy question here.  I have a production version and a development version of an app.  I have added a new table to the development app and created fields and forms.  Is it possible to copy the single new table from development app to production app?  Is there a better way to deploy changes to a prod environment?

Thanks,

Brian

    I have good news for you Brian. This is possible but it's a little confusing because you do it 'backwards' of what would seem the logical progression. 

    • Step 1. Copy the table you want to move
      (unless you don't need a version of it to remain in your source app).
    • Step 2. Go to the app you want to move the table into. 
    • Step 3. Go to App Settings, then click App management.
    • Step 4. Choose Move a table into this app
    • Step 5. Select the table you want to bring over. 
    • Step 6. Click OK to confirm and make the magic happen.

    The table to be copied cannot be larger than 75MB or you can only copy the table and not the data.

    Also your User account must be the App Manager of both Apps.
    "The manager and/or owner of 'originationAppName' : 'OriginationTableName'
    is different from that of 'destinationAppName'.

    You will need to have the management/ownership transferred appropriately before proceeding."

    In this case an alternative is to export the required columns to a CSV and import to a new table in the other App.
