Duplicating tables

I duplicated tables to different pages but the names always have a number appendix to the end. I just want to keep the names consistent but the tool wouldn’t let me. Is this a bug?

I believe you can’t have the same name in 2 places but you can update the second one to be more specific and then remove the number.

@Karina_Mikhli is correct. The table names are the means by which you reference table information in Codas formula language and therefore they must be unique.

For example, If I have two views of the same task table filtered to show only completed/tasks in progress accordingly:

  • View 1: “Completed Tasks”
  • View 2: “Tasks in progress”

I can then run some queries to find out how many tasks are completed or in progress:

  • completed tasks.count()
  • task in progress.count()

Not allowing the same name for tables is a feature and not a bug!
