  • We are trying to unzip an Appian application zip file that contains documents (images in particular). We noticed that the smart service is failing with the following error: 

    org.apache.catalina.core.StandardWrapperValve.invoke com.appiancorp.suiteapi.content.exceptions.InsufficientNameUniquenessException: Name is insufficiently unique

    We investigated and found that Appian creates subfolders for the images with the same name as the image (Folder and file have the name as the image UUID). After deleting the folders in the zip file, the plugin worked perfectly fine. Is it possible for this to be fixed?
