Issue/Introduction

When trying to create a new attribute in the investment object, the following message appears:
ODF-0205: Attribute ID must be unique 

Environment

Clarity

Resolution

As long as the attributes are created on different objects, the attribute ID can be the same.
However if the attributes are on the same object, the attribute ID needs to be unique.

The following query can be used to confirm the object and attribute exists or not:
select * from ODF_CUSTOM_ATTRIBUTES
where column_name = 'id_being_entered'
