Hello

Duplicating an app (and copying the tables) creates an exact copy of an app - and also copies the Glide Tables (and I assume Glide Big Tables)

These new tables are always the same name as the original app.

Could a prefix be added to each table name (set by the user), so that they can be easily differentiated from the original app?
