After you create a
form-based app,
you cannot change the app to use a different data source.
For example, you can not change a form-based app to use a different
entity or
SharePoint list than the one specified when the app was created.
This limitation also applies to cloned apps. That is, you cannot clone a
form-based app,
and then change the data source in the cloned app.
