Upgrading Universal Theme to 24.2 causes no templates to be included in app export

Luis CabralOct 6 2025

Hello

This is more of a general question than an issue

I have upgraded an Apex application from version 22 to version 24.2, then I see the message “There is a new version of Universal Theme available! You can refresh your theme to take advantage of new features, enhancements, and bug fixes”

I export the application as a backup, and click the update button. The theme is updated to 24.2 without any issues. Then to check what has changed, I export the application again and compare to the previous export.

I noticed that this time no templates were included in the export, the only exception being the template popuplov, which was included but only has a “null” statement, see below.

prompt --application/shared_components/user_interface/templates/popuplov
begin
null;
end;
/

Then I imported the export file in the same workspace, as a different application ID, and all the templates were in there!? I suppose they were retrieved from the Universal Theme repository…

Is this the expected behaviour? I mentioned, I didn't notice any issue during the update or running the application, but wanted to be sure and to understand this change of functionality (I'm a bit puzzled by the popuplov template thing…)

Thanks!

Luis
