Suppose I have a constant named ABC_CONSTANT in one environment of version 18.4 (dev), having a value 5 (number(integer))
Another constant with the similar name, similar value in another environment of version 19.1 (qa).
If I move from Dev to QA that is lower to higher environment , what will happen to the constant ABC_CONSTANT?

The objects in Appian are associated with the UUID. So, if you move from DEV to QA, and if UUID is different for the constants, at the time of import (not inspect), you will get an error.
Similar name or same name? UUID is what makes the objects unique. But while some objects will let you have multiple items with the same name, others will not.All objects in QA should originate from DEV. If the value needs to be different in each environment, then use the environment specific flag to have an import config file on migration.
Appian also forward compatible. You can move objects from an older version of Appian to a newer one.
