Hi Everyone, I am experiencing inconsistent behavior with my template canvas. Basically, the dataset will have 9 rows but the canvas will only display 6. If all the rows are correct in the dataset, why is it choosing to only display some of them?
The only pattern I can see is that it thinks that some items are repeats but they're not. Same UDT but different path. For example in the dataset - FT103058 has a flowrate and a temperate.
Is it a collision? because the items in the name column are the same? It does not know how to handle using the same key?

Almost certainly, yes.
Definitely yes. If you examine the component's scripting functions, one of them lets you retrieve template instances by name. That cannot possibly work if duplicate names are allowed.
Thank you, everyone! This makes much more sense now. I’ll work on differentiating the elements in my UDTs. The canvas is being populated by a script during runtime. It handles the collisions well and doesn’t throw any exceptions. Sometimes, just asking questions helps clarify things.
The last thing I will mention to anyone else who finds this is. If you use the template canvas customizer, it will not let you use the same name. Programmatically like in my case, the dataset loads just fine.
