Add a toggle to allow multiple of the same unique name in a squad #1362

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. It can be difficult to compare different loadouts for a pilot in a list without being able to see those loadouts next to each other on the same page as each other.

Describe the solution you'd like Add a little checkbox toggle next to the standard/extended/epic dropdown to allow multiple unique cards in a list.

Describe alternatives you've considered Using Launch Bay Next which I try to avoid because it crashes often for me, pen and paper, multiple YASB tabs open simultaneously, and copy/pasting the XWS for a pilot over and over into the list to bypass the restriction.

Additional context When sharing my XWS code find on discord others mentioned wanting this feature too.

Having multiple tabs open does not seem to bad to me. We prefer to only allow building legal squads.

The main issue for allowing illegal lists in any way: People will forget that they had that setting turned on and end up with lists that are still illegal after removing the disregarded pilot variants. I can easily see a list that e.g. contains two copies of something like lone wolf or Electron-Proton-Bombs, where it is not obvious that they are unique.

I guess if this is possible via XWS import we'll fix that, as it is not indented and considered a bug. So thanks for the report - even though I'm well aware, that this is the opposite than what you asked for...

I checked and you cannot import via xws the same name currently, so I am going to close this. I have no intention of allowing illegal lists in any capacity at this time.
