Moving KVstore lookup using "Lookup definitions" does not work

After moving a KVstore to a new Application, Splunk can not longer render the lookup.

When moving a KVstore using the "move" link in "Lookup definitions" it only moves the transforms.conf stanza and not the collections.conf stanza.

The on-prem solution is to manually move collections.conf but this cannot be done in Splunk Cloud.

Although it looks like you should be able to use the "move" link in "Lookup definitions", you cannot.

The best way to achieve this is to create a new KVstore in the desired location then copy the KVstore data there.

| inputlookup my_old_kvstore
| outputlookup my_new_kvstore
