Adding induction cooktop to existing 220V 40A circuit?
I have a dedicated 220V 40A circuit for the electric oven. I also have a gas cooktop connected to a separate 110V circuit (for the igniters). I would like to replace the gas cooktop with an induction one. The new induction cooktop needs 30A 220V circuit. Would I be able to have the range oven and cooktop connected to the same line (220V 40A) or I need a dedicated electrical line to each appliance?

One more question. Would it be ok if I reverse the appliances? I could get the induction cooktop, put it on the existing 220V 40A circuit for the oven and then switch the electric oven to a gas one? I already have a gas line for the cooktop so I wouldn't have to run any new wires or gas lines. Any issues with such approach?

That would be fine. Everything connected properly.
You'd need to have the gas line checked to make sure it will run both appliances at the same time

There would be only one gas appliance (oven). The cooktop would be switched from gas to induction. I am just trying to find a way not to run new power lines. We use the cooktop more often than the oven.
