Can collections have the same name as movies/shows? - Iacov - 2024-05-20

hey

it may be a dumb question, but i couldn't find an definitive answer
can a collection have the same name as a movie/show? i'm not a db-buff but i know that sometimes there can be conflicts, if a db does not sub-divide its identifiers, thus having two different items (collection and eg a movie) having the same name couild lead to issues

in my example: i don't want to have my collections to have the "collection-postfix" (eg "Shrek Collection")
can i name the collection e.g. shrek, while one of the included movies also is only named shrek?

It should be fine. There shouldn't be any conflicts when a collection shares the name of a movie or show.
