Unable to link application to Source control in Studio

[mareks_p]

I am using this application

GitHub - jmbauguess/UnitTestNOW: ServiceNow Unit Testing util for server side scripts

in SN, imported as update set.

When I tried to store it in my git repo, I got an error:

This application cannot be exported because it is in the global scope. Because they can contain critical components of the core platform, globally scoped applications are not presently safe to use with source control.

Why it happens and is it possible to change scope and save application in git.

That happens to me on almost every application as well. I have lots of notes as I develop and debug. Thank you Evernote!

I really have only just recently started using the scoped applications (even though I passed the certification once it came out).   I guess some of the water cooler talk I heard about them scared me off (and since I work for just one company there's not much of a need to use them).   I don't know if the initial concerns were wrong, or if the scoped applications development/studio has improved since it's launch, but I like using it now, and wish I could use it for my normal system work.

Hi Justin,

Yes, there have been many improvements in scoped applications and there should be little reason why you cannot use it for new work going forward.
