Got this when trying to duplicate an app this morning. How do I resolve this? Does Glide get notified about such critical bugs? Screenshot: ![Screenshot 2021-04-01 at 10.55.46](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/5/a/5aafaf5b0f880daee07a7afb0fe572027b650a80.png) ---

Do you have many empty rows and columns in that app? ---

**How does that affect it?** Since that is the sheet/ not the app. I’ve looked and deleted some of the extra rows/ columns. But it hasn’t made any difference. 1. Is there a limit on the numbers of sheets in a google sheet the duplicate function can cope with? ---

I guess there’s a time out limit somewhere in that process so if the amount of data being copied is too big, it will be a problem. ---

It’s a ‘duplication’ of the app, not the google sheet data however. When you select use same google sheet, it has no need to copy data. Let me know if I’m missing something - it seems there’s just a bug in app duplication. It has nothing to do with data that I can tell. ---

So you’re pointing it to the same Google Sheet? In that case I’m not sure what the problem is, still I think there’s a timeout limit for this action. ---

Correct… So the question is… why is there a timeout for duplicating just the app? ---

I spoke to Glide support, they’ve found an issue and are working on a fix. ---

It now displays a new error - we have deleted all possible empty rows and columns in our app. So I doubt this is the issue/ unless it’s doing it for apps with low numbers of volumes. Our max row size is around 3000 in sheets in this app. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/d/1/d1074f6d5580d8ab8f84e0fc9a492f0018bdea8d.png) ---

I’m curious if anyone has got the duplicate app to work? ---
