Hi~
When i copy blocks to backpack, all preocdeure name changed to "procedure" so that can not paste to other app.
Would you please let me know and how to solve it?
Empty your backpack, and download individual block images to your hard drive, saving them with proper file names.
Drag them into your new project or Screen One by one.
You seem to have found a bug.

Please download and post each of those event block(s)/procedures here ...
P.S. These blocks can be dragged directly into your Blocks Editor workspace.
See Download Block Images for a demo.
Hi...
I followed the guide,
and my app. is broken as image bellow
and I cannot edit anymore.
I think it's my fault, please let me know how to treat it.

Export your .aia file and upload it here.
This URL allows you to open AI2 to the Project List, without opening any project.
http://ai2.appinventor.mit.edu/?autoload=false
From that list, you can request Exports of Projects without trying to open them.
Upload the troublesome .aia here.
Also, you can get a mass download of individual blocks images using one of the browser extensions at
I currently use the Script Monkey version myself.
Hi~ ABS
my app can not edit any more.
Could you restore my app. before 3 hours file if I ask you?
Why haven't you exported the project here yet?
I don't live in the MIT servers.

Hi~ ABG.
I am sorry to ask.
Not without surgery on the exported .aia file.
Did you take any exports as backup?
...
I did't save backup. 
thanks very much to help me.
This is serious.
I just reproduced the bug.

Interesting. OK, I see the issue. I'll look into it.
This error is still existing at least in my setting (windows10/google chrome/current AI2 version installed): copy a named procedure to the backP and you find only "procedure" there with the consequence to name all pasted by hand, what a nonsense. If I am wrong then I would appreciate a hint where I made an error or what should I do to fix it. Otherwise I wonder why it hasn't been fixed regarding the fact that it has already been mentioned here in 2023.
Try that on the code.appinventor.mit.edu server, which has some new code
Confirmed that I am seeing this on ai2 and code.
Dear all,
I thought it was a problem of my configuration (Brave browswer with "almost all" cookies blocked, Win 10 OS, Classic UI) and the use of the backpack to transfer procedures from one app to another, but also to me it happens the same, with both (ai2 and code) servers. The procedures lose their name.
The AI2 IDE on Code server is:
Some strange behaviour happens also on Warnings and Errors indications: once set, though they are solved, their indication numbers do not change (better: they change erratically).
I've already signalled this with this topic:

Cheers.

I've been digging into this a bit and it seems to have to do with the loading process of the backpack. The actual name of the procedure name is stored successfully in the backpack, but when the block is constructed it defaults back to procedure.
