Description

We have a project called Product that we have a variety of sub-projects in. When trying to create a new sub-project with certain names, we get the error "Identifier has already been taken" and are unable to create the sub-project with the chosen name. Other sub-project names work. The names that do not work are not associated with any current Projects. Some (all?) of them were previously associated with a custom field called 'Features', but that custom field has been removed. Any ideas? This is blocking our ability to organize our projects the way we want to. :(

Project identifiers have to be globally unique to be able to uniquely identify projects by their name. So you can't have two projects with the same identifier, regardless of their nesting or activation state. Thus you also have to consider locked projects.

Understood. We do not have any other Projects using these names, locked or otherwise.

Maybe the error message doesn't reflect the error correctly either, could you post an example of an actually failing identifier?

This is a non-issue. An archived project was using the identifiers that weren't working. Sorry for wasting your time.
