Create multiple apps from same workspace infect from same Dataset without replicating the dataset multiple times. only option we have now is to update the app and only one app per workspace can be created which a kind of restrict the workspace usability. If we can create multiple apps share it with different users without creating multiple workspace ... means same dataset no dataset replication, will save the storage as well.

RE: Create multiple apps from same workspace

Agreed on this, we were so close to thinking of a great workaround. Adding an option on the copy reports to another workspace button (a checkbox that says update copied reports when original report is updated / and another that says update published apps to include this report). This would allow you to publish a source report and then publish reference reports to other workspaces that way you can manage the security of what a user can see at the workspace level for the reference reports. Then only users with access to those workspaces can see the reports and you can then publish with little to no issues. It's janky, but could work.

RE: Create multiple apps from same workspace

I have so many customers who cannot understand why this has not been catered for

RE: Create multiple apps from same workspace

It was also listed here as an Idea with a couple thousand votes, before it was deleted a couple months ago for some reason.

This was asked for three years ago, yet nothing was done.
