About the update Rob....

Hi Vargr, Couldn't you just do several snippets called BTL1, BTL2, BTL3, etc?

[Vargr]

Yes, I could.
But it is not elegant (and RW has spoiled me somewhat in that regard).

But I have found a workaround - simply adding extra snippets when populating the topic.

Did that work for your dates too?

I am pretty sure Realm Works trims leading and trailing spaces on snippet names as well as topic names and category names.

One issue with manually inserting snippets of the same type/name: If the problem was in import/export, this may cause the import/export to fail. It is quite possible that manually creating snippets of the same name will cause the same problems as allowing them on the Category definition .. though I do not know that to be the case.

I receive no warning so I hope it is ok to do it.

I assume it has to do with the structure and nothing to do with the actual topics, guessing the structure is the framework that everything is based on.

Maybe someone from LWD can confirm my assumption.

So far no problems :-)

Rob said in another thread it is okay to add snippets to a topic with the same name. It is only the structural stuff where duplicate names cause problems.

Thanks for the confirmation
