Keep caseid when moving cases between applications

Users

Hi there,

I created a new version of my application that involves a decent number of changes. I now want to roll out the new version of the app, but need to transfer existing cases that are open to the new application. I want those cases to retain the same caseID so that I can still easily connect the previously submitted form data to follow-up data. How can I do this? Any way I try to upload the cases it seems to reassign a new case ID.

Cheers,

Maureen

Hi Maureen,

Have you been building the app in a separate space?

On CommCareHQ, all of your apps in the same project space share the same pool of cases, so you won't need to do any data migrations to be able to continue to use the cases for future applications.
