Does anyone know if it’s possible to have multiple project activities that have the same activity short name (they have different activity sequences). I’m currently getting the validation error ‘The Activity already exists’ and wondering if there is a way around this.

Hi
Same as the activity sequence, the activity short name is a unique identifier for the activity.
If the field is left blank when you create or change an activity, the system generates a default value according to the rule set when the system was installed. The default value is either a unique (sequential) number like Activity Sequence (ACTIVITY_SEQ ) or a generated concatenated string of project ID, subproject ID, and activity number separated by a period as follows: (project_id.sub_project_id.activity_no). The field can be modified but should be unique.
If this answers your question kindly mark this as the best answer.
Best regards,
