transfer data from live to development app

I sorry to let you know that its for this exact reason that 99% of development work in Quick Base is done on the live version of the app. Most developers make backup copies of the app before major changes and then just develop on the live version.
You will likely need to redo your development work now on the version of the app which has the current data, ie the old app.

- Hello, is this still true in 2020 since this post was in 2017?

There is a new feature called the Sandbox.
https://help.quickbase.com/user-assistance/using_quick_base_sandbox.html
I suggest that you make a copy of your app and then experiment with using the sandbox to learn about it.
But, the idea of the sandbox is to be able to make change in a controlled Sandbox environment and then Promote them Live when you are ready, preserving all the data in the production copy of the app.

------------------------------Is this still true in 2023? Is there no way to copy my new dev work from the test app to the live app (excluding the data of course)
