Danny is correct.

 

I’ve asked the person responsible for this change to respond with more detail.

thats new in 12.1 i believe.

i find it a big pain in my workflow as well and i dont believe there is a way to disable it

12.1 added "copy with property links" so now when use that feature it makes sure that there arent two layers with the same name

Hi everyone,

 

I just tried to create two layers with the same name (say "Test") but AE disallows it and automatically renames the second one "Test 2". Even if I try to explicitly rename it to "Test" again.

 

Why is this and is there any way to avoid this behavior? With CS6 it works fine.

 

I did some scripts for a client that need some layers have the same name.

 

cheers,

Mathias
