Summary0008709: Project names should not have to be unique
Description

Why do project names have to be unique? I have three projects, i.e. customers, CustomerA, CustomerB, CustomerC, each of them should have a subproject called Website. I haven't looked at the sql tables yet, but I can't imagine that there should be any reason to have unique project names, that is if you have ids for the projects.

TagsNo tags attached.

Another problem caused by the fact that sub-projects are just implemented (AFAICS) as projects which are then attached to a given project. It could be solved by making sub-projects unique to projects which would solve some usability problems as well. Possible solution were suggested to the mailinglist during a discussion about usability.

But please be aware that moving "subproject" between "project"s must be possible indifferent ot the implementation way.

@schoenfeld: Do you have a link to that discussion? Thanks!

Thanks for giving the link. It's worth reading.

Some of the aspects I'd underwrite; especially when planning to have more than one project manager (at this time I'm alone with administration), who are responsible for its project (and sub projects if want's to use)
