Allowing identical names in Document library with Document Sets

Iron Contributor

Afternoon team,

Hope you're all well.  Let me run something by you, I'm after some thoughts on my scenario.

 

I have a document library, which I've configured with a single Content Type.  A document set, with associated columns and documents.  In testing, we've hit the age old problem of duplicate names not being allowed.  As I understand it, this occurs as the Doc Set is a child of the folder type,, which means the initial value provided to the Doc Set is used to construct the subsequent URL.  Duplicates are barred for obvious reasons. 

 

I have a scenario where duplicates within the name field are desired.

 

As this is a problem on DocSetCreation, all I can think of as a possible solution is the Document ID Site Collection Feature.  I'll be testing this but am curious as to how other community members have gotten around this problem.


Cheers

Steve
