Frappe deletes workspaces on migrate if they’re not in your app
If you’re using the Frappe Framework and creating custom workspaces, this is something to know.
During bench migrate, Frappe can delete your workspaces automatically.
When it happens
A workspace will be removed if all of this is true:
public = 1moduleis setappis set- no matching JSON file exists in any installed app
Frappe scans app folders for workspace files. If it doesn’t find one, it treats the workspace as orphaned and deletes it.
Typical scenario
You create a workspace from the UI, it works fine.
Later you run:
bench migrate
After that, the workspace is gone.
