Copy web map application and update web map

Sfortunatamente — Thu, 12 Oct 2023 11:42:45 GMT

Hi,

I need to copy a web map application created using Web App Builder and update a web map based on which the app was created. As far as I know the second step has to be done with REST API but making a copy of a web app is more crucial for me at the time.

I tried the same approach which I use for web maps:

newWebMapProperties = {'title': title,
'type': 'Web Map',
'tags': tags
'text': json.dumps(existingWebMapJsonData)}

Which properties do I need to put for web apps in order to get a copy which can be opened and edited in Web App Builder?

Hey,

For copying Web Apps I would recommend using the Clone_Items() method. The documentation here provides some useful code samples for doing this.

Let me know if you hit any issues with this.

Many thanks,

David

Hi, thanks for the tip but clone seems to be dedicated for making a copy from one Portal to another one but what I want to do is to copy with the same Portal instance.
