Duplicate Catalog Item Enumeration

JamesHead-Mears1

Is it by design or a bug that when duplicating a map item it will ignore any trailing numbers when duplicating a map item? For example, Map 1 will become Map 11, Map 12 Map 13 when duplicating on Map 1.

I would assume that ArcGIS Pro would check for suffix numbers and then enumerate these numbers if available. For Example when duplicating Site 1 it would create Site 2, Site 3, or Site 4 in the below not Site 11, 12, 13 as shown below.

Hello @JamesHead-Mears1 , yes it does initially seem a bit strange, but this is what I see it doing.

If you have a Map called "MapQ", and you Duplicate it, you get "MapQ1": which makes sense as Map Q leads to Map Q One, then Map Q Two etc.

If you have a Map called "Map1", and you Duplicate it, it follows exactly the same logic and you get "Map11", but this fails to make sense if you read it as Map Eleven rather than Map One One.

So I guess it is By Design. Do you have an alternative interpretation that explains it as a Bug ?

This expected behavior. The map name shown in ArcGIS Pro is a text field just like a file name.
