Add External File in a data model already created by Data Load Editor

Hi to everyone,

I have an App in Qlik Sense with a data model already created by data load editor; that's why I created a data model through a connection to a DataBase.

I noticed, then trying to add an external file located on my PC, I am having problems and It doesn't work.

I tried to add external file in an empty App, and it works.

How It could be possible?

Thanks a lot!

Hello @Shi 
Your problem seems something to do with a DataFiles connection.
Are these apps placed in the same space? 

The following help page may give you a hint to solve the problem you are facing.

If the issue persists, could you post a screenshot of the issue or error message?
