Hello,
Can a parent and child in a list have the same code?
No, a Child and Parent cannot have the same code. It will throw an error.
Suppose we have a list named Check,
One of its member names is A and its Code is 20. Now, I insert a child named B and Try to put the same code it will throw an error
" Setting the code of 'B' to '20' is not permitted '20' clashes with the code of List Member 'A'
Hi @sagarkpr ,
It is not recommended to have similar codes for both parent and child lists. Though you can technically go to the backend and type/modify codes of parent or child lists to have similar codes, it will fail when you load list through imports or while adding items to the list.
Cheers!
No a parent and child in a list cannot have the same code. A code is being used as unique identifier for list so it doesn't make any sense to have same code for 2 different list items, the system will automatically throw an error.
Hope this helps !

The problem we set out to solve: Anaplan's Excel add-in is Windows-centric, and there's no real native way to pivot Anaplan data in Google Sheets. We…
