Ok, thank you all for the quick help.
In the long term, it would be great to have something like:
- by default new/duplicated layers get a unique name
- if you manually rename them to the original name, a confirm message (with an "don't show this again") informs you about what side effects this will have.

Cheers,
Mathias

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
