I duplicated the existing External Services db and named the new db as Internal Services. I didn’t copy the data. But the db somehow didn’t activate… These were the errors: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/fibery/original/2X/7/736c7baa30383316fd76eb1e747f13bfb95a7065.png) I removed those fields: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/fibery/original/2X/7/7ecf355f344474a7e2ff970d3a0137c740ab07b4.png) When I search for this db, Fibery can find it but the db looks disabled: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/fibery/original/2X/3/3546f34b87a34d037bb9edacb3ad343b9b3efce3.png) When I access it, this is what I see: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/fibery/original/2X/3/3ca0512b26ad72911c9fe8a6c92710a4e820d284.png) Db isn’t shown in the space. Any idea how to enable it (I cannot create a new db with the same name)? ---

I’ve just managed to delete the db and created it from scratch. @Chr1sG , is this one a bug? ---

> [@myg\_ge](#): > > I duplicated the existing External Services db and named the new db as Internal Service How did you duplicate the db? Did you do it via creating a space template and importing it? ---

I asked AI to do that ---

Ok. The AI can often do things that are not otherwise possible via the UI, including making things that are effectively broken. I’ll let the AI team know about your experience, and leave them to investigate. ---

Got it. Thank you.
