Can update sets in different scope have same name?

[VibhaSastry]

I have a requirement to identify update sets with duplicate names. I have the following queries regarding it:

1. Can update sets have same names in different scopes?

2. Can we have the same name for parent and child update sets?

Hi @VibhaSastry 

1. Can update sets have the same names in different scopes?

Yes, update sets can have the same name in different scopes. This is because the scope of an update set is tied to the application it belongs to, and each application scope maintains its own set of update sets. However, having identical names across scopes can create confusion when managing or migrating update sets. To avoid ambiguity, it's a best practice to use unique and descriptive names for update sets.

2. Can we have the same name for parent and child update sets?

No, parent and child update sets cannot have the exact same name. When creating child update sets, the system enforces unique names within the hierarchy of the parent update set to prevent confusion during version control and migration processes. A unique identifier for each update set ensures proper tracking and avoids issues during merges or imports.
