Hello. I’ve asked this before, but got no responses…I cannot create collections with identical names, like the FAQ claims..whenever I try to create a collection with the same name as in another library, I get an error message “Your changes cannot be saved.” If I add a period to the collection name, it saves fine, but since it isn’t identical, that “link” doesn’t occur. I have this issue with multiple collections in multiple libraries.
This only works if all the collections by that name are “dumb” collections, i.e. are not created by a library filter.
All collections must not have that small cogwheel icon on their thumbnail, indicating a smart collection.
If I understand what you mean, all my collections are not created by any automatic filter; I created them all manually, selecting a show and adding something to the Collections Tag. I see no cogwheel icon. I wanted to include a picture, but I’m not seeing how to attach a picture to a post.
Simply paste it into the message editor, or drag the picture file into it.
Your organization is very odd. Your choices are your choices … but it is very unique. 
Try rebooting the server to see if that clears the Collections error. I’ve gotten an error or two when creating collections over the years and usually a reboot will clear it.
It might be helpful to post up your server logs after getting the error as well.
If you’re comfortable with some terminal commands, you might give this tool a try as well: https://github.com/ChuckPa/DBRepair … it can help with oddities with the database (particularly since you have a complex library setup).
