# Change a Creator Studio app's table

Change an app's table.

## Before you begin

The app must already be created before you can change the table for it.  
Some general guidelines for changing the table are:

* If you change an app's table to one that doesn't extend a Request Task-extended table, it could affect automations.
* If the new table doesn't have the request_type field, the app's automations won't be correctly triggered.
* The request_type field for the new table should have the label Request type, and it should be a reference to the Record Producer table.
* If the new table isn't in the same scope as the app, the scope of the table must allow updates from other scopes.

## About this task

To ensure that forms and automations work, a general guideline is to change the table to a table that extends the Request Task table.

## Procedure

1. Open the All menu and enter <kbd class="ph userinput">sn_creatorstudio_request_app_config.list</kbd>.
2. Enter the app name in the search box for the Name column and press Enter.  
   Note:  
   You must enter the first word of the app name, not subsequent words in the app name.
3. Select the app from the list.  
   Figure 1. Filtered list of apps
4. **Optional:** Change the scope to the app's scope or a global scope if you're not in the correct scope.  
   You can change the scope in one of the following ways:
   * Selecting the here in the message "To edit the record click here."
   * Selecting the application scope icon (![]()) and choosing the appropriate scope.

   {#creator-studio-change-app-table__ul_fgr_npz_r2c}For more information on scopes, see [Application scope](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/ch6j1iJjd63nAIt7ogF27A "Application scoping protects applications by identifying and restricting access to application files and data.").
5. Enter the name of the table you want the app to write to in the Request table field.  
   The table should extend the Request Task table and have the request_type field. For more details on what table you can use, see [Requirements for changing the table for an app](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/raU80R_INd_cCAW_O~SM~g#creator-studio-admin-app-table-about__crs-requirements-change-table).Figure 2.

6. Select Update to save your changes.
