Permit duplicate task names?

[Houssam]

Is it possible (through the API or a setting) to create tasks under the same parent with the same name?

My use case: I am swapping the position of tasks, and as an intermediate step, the tasks will briefly share a parent. (The position changes come through separately via webhooks so I can't change them at the same time). At the moment I am renaming the tasks and renaming them back.

Hi Houssam,

Currently, having two objects with the same name and same parent is impossible. In your use case, our recommended workaround would be to temporarily rename one of the tasks which seems to be what you're already doing.

Cheers,
