Stored QVD files missing in attached files when duplicating the app

[MEBG93]

Hello experts,

I'm currently developing an app that runs once a month, and to keep data consistency, I need to save certain tables that feed from a live database into QVD files. For security reasons, I'm only able to save them into the Attached Files path. For that part everything works as planned, but sometimes I need to duplicate the app because when I upload some of the files which contain expressions which are constantly updated, the only way to overwrite them is to delete the file, duplicate the app and then upload the updated files, otherwise I get a 'Invalid path' error.

So after I duplicate this app, with the stored QVD files, somehow they go missing. Maybe I'm doing something wrong or its just a bug.

Any help counts!

Thanks in advance

not entirely sure but I think this is save in the static content of qliksense. this is a seperate folder that is created when installing qlik.

the static contains also contains folders for storing other thinks like pictures (tumbnails)
