SAP Lumira Designer bookmarks per application

[nutpos]

Hi

I have a dashboard with global bookmarks in. I've added them into a specific folder called 'PM'.

On the server this dashboard is running in 2 versions - one for testing and development and one that is published. The problem is that the bookmarks - although loaded and saved to the exact same folder, with the exact same settings - seem to belong to the application that saved them.

So when I save the development version into the production version, the old bookmarks will vanish..

What am I doing wrong? Cannot be right, that I cannot save and load bookmarks freely across different applications?

The mapping between a Bookmark technical component and all bookmarks is done with a so called "GUID" or "UUID" (Gobally Unique Identifier).

I'm not sure if newer version of Designer show it - or even allow to change the value. In worst case you might need to patch the content.biapp from Dev to Prod version (or vice versa) to consume the already created bookmarks. It might be also sufficient to copy the bookmark component - assuming the the GUID is copied as well.
