Change a Creator Studio app's table

Change an app's table.

Before you begin

The app must already be created before you can change the table for it.

Some general guidelines for changing the table are:

• If you change an app's table to one that doesn't extend a Request Task-extended table, it could affect automations.
• If the new table doesn't have the request_type field, the app's automations won't be correctly triggered.
• The request_type field for the new table should have the label Request type, and it should be a reference to the Record Producer table.
• If the new table isn’t in the same scope as the app, the scope of the table must allow updates from other scopes.
