Duplicate ore move app from managed space to personal space

[MassimilianoBrugnerotto]

Hi to everyone.

The final customer has deleted the development app in the personal space. It's possibile to duplicate ore move the puplished app (from a managed space) to the personal space? User have a professional license, it's the app owner and all user permission are enabled, but the popup menu show only a limited commands list for the published app.

Hi @MassimilianoBrugnerotto ,

Currently it's not possible to retrieve deleted apps in Qlik Cloud. A feature request has already been raised for this, feel free to upvote it to increase it's weightage.

I have fuund a couple of solutions (i will test them ASAP)

In Qlik Sense Enterprise SaaS it's possible to unpublish an app with the
REST API (PowerShell)

or by qlik-cli tool (command line)

Yes, that could be another way to get the app after unpublishing it using CLI/ PowerShell, but in Qlik Cloud there is no direct way to achieve it.
Also there are some best practices as mentioned in the shared links for future use-
-- Some customers have instructed users not to delete apps, but to move them instead to a "recycle bin" shared space. Once it's confirmed that the apps are not needed, they can be deleted from there.
-- Backup apps by exporting them using Qlik- CLI.

@Sweta_Sharma the bigger issue is that even if I use powershell to move an app from a managed space to a personal space, I can't edit it, despite being the app owner.

Some apps even have no owner, just blank, so can't edit them either.

This is such a complete mess, we have apps we can't change or edit or access because we published them to a managed space. This seems less of a feature and more of a necessity. I'm very concerned that a large BI platform is posting alternative powershell commands to do something really basic.
