First, create a directory to hold the forked app example forked_app_dir next use oscar_fork_app utility (which is very very poorly documented when you want to fork the dashboard apps) in my case, I wanted to fork the catalogue dashboard app so I did ./manage.py oscar_fork_app dashboard then changed into the dashboard directory and did ./manage.py oscar_fork_app catalogue_dashboard which created another dashboard dir which I removed and everything worked fine after applying changes forms in the dashboard.

I haven't found the way to fork sub_app anywhere on the doc : oscar_fork_app catalogue_dashboard. Thanks for that ! – Mancuso
