I have an example. I have several projects in Mantis. For various
reasons, some of the project managers prefer to have two subprojects:
one for bugs and one for feature requests. In other words, what they
want would look like this in the project selector:
Project A
>> Bugs
>> Enhancements
Project B
>> Bugs
>> Enhancements
Project C
>> Bugs
>> Enhancements
Instead, what I have to do is this:
Project A
>> Bugs (Project A)
>> Enhancements (Project A)
Project B
>> Bugs (Project B)
>> Enhancements (Project B)
Project C
>> Bugs (Project C)
>> Enhancements (Project C)
If projects with identical names were allowed, then I could give my
users what they want, which is the first situation. I don't see a good
reason to not allow this since the project's name is not its identifier
in the database.
