MORE INFORMATION

Normally, a name is associated with a repository object via a naming relationship. The collection for such a relationship provides the scope for the name and can require that all names in the collection be unique. This is the preferred method for naming objects when a given object will be the destination of only one naming relationship.

Steps to Reproduce Problem

1. Open a repository-based project that uses unique naming.



2. Remove item "X" from the collection.



3. Add an item "X" to the same collection.

• Success.

• Fails, item already exists.
