Re: Do we need unique names for category options across categories?

 

Hi,

yes I also would like to remove the uniqueness constraint on category option
name. The reason why we kept it is backwards compatibility for DXF. Category
options appear in a single list and if the name wasn't unique there would be
no way to map them to other objects. Category options will be nested within
categories in DXF 2 but until that is in place we will have to keep it (or
come up with a clever solution for it).
