Summary
If I do a population with the same name as an existing attribute group name, it goes into a processing wait state on the GUI and does not return a response. The specification is that it is not possible to create a population with the same name as an existing attribute group name, but the problem is that the user is not aware of the specification, and when it falls into that state, it goes into a state waiting to be processed without warning.
Repro
Reproduction procedure
1. Create a sendable D.E.Named "TEST_Population_DE"
2. Create a primary key field with string type named "MyKey" on "TEST_Population_DE"
3. Create an AttributeGroup named "TEST_Population"
(Do not link "TEST_Polulation_DE" D.E)
4. Try to create a newPopulation with "TEST_Popolation_DE" D.E. Link "ContactKey" to "MyKey". Then click "Create"
5. There is no transition to the next screen on the browser display.
6. Using the browser's developer tools, check the Response and the following will be returned.
resultType:Validation
resultClass:Error
resultCode:DuplicateDefinitionName
Workaround
Change the name of the population from the name assigned by default when creating the population.
