hi all, quick questions about the document types naming for packages. should I add some kind of prefix/suffix to all names of document types? what happens when the package is installed that has the same name of a document type that already exists in an instance it's installing to? thank you!

Because the Document Type Alias would have to be unique. It fails, in the Management API it results in this... So for a Package its a good idea to prefix, if you want to be 100% certain you could load all existing Document Types and then make sure that the name does not collide.. one way would be to add a number in the end, unless already a number, then find next available number and use that... https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1333421914940772373/1333474181920325682/image.png?ex=6799061b&is=6797b49b&hm=61f0394785059e06b2f6ffa47887d0e2339253ca30ea57d3b83d8945e8767b8d&

thank for a reply @Niels Lyngsø . does this mean there is a way to change names of the document types during the package installation?

Im sorry that is out of my experience area. But I would say it is possible to check before creating the Doc Types, so you adjust before hand.

no problem. I have an idea what to look for now. thank you

You can change the names if you'd want, but it would most likely would make more sense to choose a unique name prefixed with your package names or something along those lines. If a document type with that exact alias already exists you could skip the installation of that document type as it most likely has already been installed/created before by your own package

@Corné Hoskam makes sense. thank you
