Cautions And Warnings
When importing apps into a new Joget platform, for example from development to production server, do update all the environment values you may have defined; IP addresses, domain name, database connection strings values, etc.
However, if it is an existing app in a production server, do be careful not to change any environment App variable counters that are link linked to your form's "ID Generator Fields". This may affect the running numbers in the form's new records.
If you are using the ID the ID Generator Field as "id", meaning it is a primary key value, be careful not to override the environment App variable value when inporting importing apps: do not click the "Show Advanced Options > Override environment variablesShow Advanced Options > Override App Variables" checkbox in Import App screen.
