Allow branding of deployed prototype apps to remain unchanged

If one wishes to make a prototype app as a contribution to the community, it would be nice if the branding images could be left in tact when that prototype is copied. I am happy to make my prototype app freely available to other users but I was I could control the default appearance. Currently, when prototype apps are copied, the “App logo” and “Launch image” are changed randomly to an AppSheet default image, which is often completely inappropriate to the app. It strikes me as odd that one can control almost all aspects of our prototype apps except how that will look after they have been copied.

By the way, my prototype app can be viewed here:

Please see the following thread for more about the reasoning behind this proposal and how AppSheet has already solved the problem of icons changing when its own templates are copied (but this feature is not currently available for regular users who make templates):

The discussion on the thread also indicates that some users may want to be able to choose to have AppSheet substitute their logo with one generated randomly (which is what happens now).  In other words, if my idea is accepted, it will probably need to be an option rather than to be automatic for all users.
