Is it possible to change the data source on an existing application. I have a test app that is connected to an airtable base that is no longer accessable. The data still exists in the noloco tables, but doesn’t sync any longer. Is there a way to change the data source on the app, or even to clone the app and change the data source from airtable to noloco?

Hey @BillHoare - if you go to clone the app, you might be able to swap the Airtable base for a clone of the Airtable base.

However, if you no longer have access to that base, it might not work as expected (or you might not have a clone available).

If you want to sever it and move it to Noloco tables, that’s something we might be able to do for you if you want to reach out to our support and share this post with them.

@darragh - thanks for the response. It’s probably not a big deal, the data is not real data so nothing really lost there, and to be honest there is a lot of restructuring that should be done if I try to recreate the application.
