Dear All
I have found that, Organisation unit name is accepting duplicate names. Is it allowed now a days? or a bug? I have created a number of Sierra Leone in 2.30 demo. Only Code field check duplicates.

Thanks Knut. In that case using orgunit name as a ID scheme for data import may not work.

Hi,
There are only unique constraints for the fields “uid” and “code”.
That said, I/we have always ensured that at least the main name is factually unique too - the short name is a different matter (although I would argue that ensuring unique short names within e.g. a district or state/province is a good idea, since reports etc for such smaller areas tend to be facility or sub-facility based. For larger countries, we normally use a sub-national prefix to ensure uniqueness (e.g. a two-character prefix representing the province, like in South Africa, or the state, like in Nigeria).
Ensuring uniqueness require a bit more discipline when creating/maintaining orgunits, but you get that time back and more so by avoiding other problems (the import using Name scheme is one of them, but any output object using those names are usually the main problem).
Regards
calle
