Hi,
in RT articles “Create” method, unique Name is enforced, even if the
article belong to different classes. What is the need for this?
Shouldn’t we enforce this uniqueness only inside each class?

This code dates back almost a decade now
Long before we had the concept of Classes as anything other than
global silos of articles (I added classes applied to queues as the
runup to merging Articles into core).
I’d be fine with unique article names within a class (it still gets a
little weird if you have two classes applied to a Queue and use the
dropdown quick list feature) and agree that globally unique names
don’t make sense…
I’d not change this in 4.0, might be ok with 4.2. If you send a
patch, send it against 4.2, but don’t be surprised if the argument
comes down that this has to go against master for 4.4.
