Bug? It is possible to make multiple projects in Form Recognizer studio with the same name

Question

Not sure if this is where we should be reporting possible bugs, if not please do let me know where the best place is to send them. I am able to make multiple projects with the same name in Form Recognizer studio, I would have expected this to be unique. I trained the same thing twice by accident because I thought I hadn't done it yet and it didn't stop me until I did train model and it said I had a duplicate. Thanks!

Hello @Emily Harper

Thanks for your reporting again. I just got confirmation from product team that project names can be the same, this is by designed. But Model names can not be the same.

Project names and model names are different. Project names can be same since they are informational, but the model names need to be unique since they need to be specified in the API for analysis, getting model details etc.

I just reproduce those different scenario on my end, the same project names with different model name is working for me.

Sorry for your experience, please keep your model name unique to make the training work, if you feel like project name can be same is very confused, I have already forwarded this feedback to product team. But a good news is we can use project description now to make project clear. Below is the screenshots I tried under same project names but different models, they are all successful. But if I use the same model name, it's not acceptable.

Hope this is helpful.
