Templates with the same name override each other

Hi,

I've noticed that if I create to different template overrides with the same name, the first is overwritten by the second. This makes sense since they all are in the same folder, but shouldn't there at least be generated a warning when one tries to create an override template that already exists?

I know that with proper naming conventions this shouldn't happen, but for newbies, this is a mistake that's easy to make.

Sincerely,

Eirik Johansen

I second that, its not only newbies that make these errors.

Robustness is an enterprise level requirement, and there are other areas that need more "protection" (the content edit/update is already at that level imho)

Hi again,

Thanks for your feedback, Paul. Another problem I've encountered when editing templates is when my partner and I edit the same template simultaneously. Why not lock a template for editing when one user is viewing it in edit mode?

Sincerely,
