On the App platform I have setup a web service (API), a database and a static site.
Access to the static site is through: mydomain.com The web service has the route: mydomain.com/api I have the DNS managed by DigitalOcean
And all works well.
I now want to ADD a new static site to my app platform that I can access on the subdomain: portal.mydomain.com However I cannot find out how to do this. I checked the question “How to setup subdomain with DO Apps and Namecheap?” on this platform but that does not answer my question or I do not understand the answer. I did manage to setup the subdomain portal.mydomain.com, but that links to the static site for mydomain.com
Is this possible and how do I do this?

Great question, currently we do not support this functionality, but I can definitely see the use. It’d be great if you could request it over here: https://ideas.digitalocean.com/ideas?project=APPX
As a work-around you could create a second app that only has your new static site and create a CNAME record from your mydomain.com domain.
CNAME won’t work for me, I need to point A and AAAA records to a subdomain so that I can also have MX records on that subdomain. Any solution being worked on?
