Deployment - Import a package from INT to UAT 'Duplicate names fo

Objects in Appian are identified by their UUID. In addition to this identifier, there are other objects such as groups and rules/constants that need to be unique in name.

If the developer doesn't keep this in mind, the issue you are seeing occurs. Basically this messages indicates that you have two groups with the same name, one in INT and the other in UAT but they are not the same object in terms of UUID. Therefore Appian is telling you that the group you are importing to UAT has the same name as a pre-existing group in UAT but with a different UUID.

You need to make sure your environments are in sync. If at some point a group gets deleted you need to reimport it from another environment to make sure it will be the same, instead of just creating a new one with the same name; a new group even if it has the same name, for the simple fact of being a new group will get a new UUID and be considered a completely different object.
