Duplicate channel name requires CLI #7344

Closed 01-1 closed 2 years ago

01-1 commented 2 years ago

Bug When creating a duplicate channel name, it gives the error You already have a channel under the name '(channel name)'. Use --allow-duplicate-name flag to override.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Create a channel through the GUI.
  2. Create another channel with the same name.

Expected behavior There should be a way to enable a duplicate channel name in the GUI, but there isn't.

System Configuration I tried this on multiple systems. both on desktop and android, seems like it's across every platform

Additional context I successfully did it through the CLI though.

The app doesn't handle duplicate channels well and only 1 will be usable.

Thanks for the idea. This app probably will not implement this.
