Pretty much what the title says. When duplicating an app today, I noticed that all of the background images for Containers are not being displayed properly (appears as a grey box) in the duplicated app. I’ve duplicated my app a couple of times before but this has never happened, any clue? ![Screenshot 2025-03-26 at 4.07.37 PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/0/c/0c5611df7f6fd7b5c5e92434275634fdb054db98.jpeg) ---

If you duplicate that component in the new app, does it show? ---

No, it doesn’t. I had to re-upload every single background image. ---

Do you use Shopify? Even if not, you might have to query an API for images in array. ---

If you copy the image link and open it from a new tab in your browser, does it work correctly? And if you use it an image component in that duplicated app, does it show? ---

Ah.. The link seems to be the problem, got the following error when opening it in a new tab. ![Screenshot 2025-03-28 at 12.49.29 PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/a/6/a6260447d27ae7f8d2ab86f42cd7996e2658dbaf.png) Also, I just realised that all of the image components had the same issue as well, not just background images. ---

Got it, it seems like a problem specified to URLs when you duplicate an app. Let’s do another test. If you have it in a column in your database, and then reference that column in the background image field, does it stick when you duplicate? ---

The issue seems about variants. Whatever ecommerce, you have variants that subs class a product. Then you need to use and make variants op.
