Could we move the custom tables created within Application scope to another instance using update sets?
If yes, please let me know.

Thanks!

HI @jahnavipell,

 

Yes, custom tables created in an application scope are captured in Update Sets and can be moved to another instance as long as:

  • The same scoped application must already exist on the target instance.
  • Update Sets move table definitions and metadata (columns, ACLs, scripts), not table data.
  • Migrate all dependent artifacts along with the table, otherwise functionality may break.
  • Tables cannot change scope (scoped → global or to another app is not supported).

 

If the provided solution is useful/working, please Accept as Solution and hit the Helpful. 
 
Thanks & Regards,
Srikanth Akula.
