[Bug 1265015] [NEW] DHIS allows duplication of dataelement name during creation

 

Public bug reported:

There is a warning when a user tries to create a dataelement with an
existing name, however is the user rewords the dataelement and then
reverts to the original duplicate, the duplicate name is created but
with a different uid. This is not good for data integrity. Also, import
schemes also use names as identifiers.

Affects 2.13 build 12932
