I have created two activities and gave them different system names.

But i need for those two have same Display Name.

But it show Duplicate name errror.

If we have Name property as unique identifier what is the reason of tracking uniqueness for Display Name property?

Does anybody know the reason of such logic?

Hi,


 


When you view the Viewflow of a process instance, Activity's Display Name is used for this part. I'm not sure if it's using for Reporting SmartObjects too.


Having the same Activity's Display Name will cause the viewflow to render incorrectly.

Hi,

 

Thank you for you answer.

Viewflow uses system names to display activities. 

Anyway, it is not critical for me.

I just wondering why it has such strange constraints.

I hope there is a reason to make this thing work this way.
