I previously created an application file for some table records. If I update these records and then use the "Create Application File" menu again for the updated records, will this action update the previous application file or create duplicates?
Thanks for your help!

I tested in my PDI, and the records created in the 'sys_metadata' table from the UI action were updated, not duplicated. I suspect the same will happen for you,

Hi there,
Duplicates? No. Why? Because the records will have the same sys_id, so it will update or ignore.
Kind regards,
