Templates for Data Import: A duplicate column heading exists

The Templates for Data Import feature makes the import data process very simple. The templates generated specify which fields are required, the type of each field and automatically map them to entity fields.

Where are templates accessible?

• Settings > Data Management (here the user is requested to choose the desired template):

• In the ribbon of each entity:

Which fields are available on it?

The template contains:

• The fields available in any active entity form;
• All the required fields even though they are not in any entity form;

Each column heading of the template contains the Display Name of every entity field.
The Display Name of each entity attribute is not required to be unique.

Hence, when there are more than one attribute with the same Display Name and fulfilling the criteria to be added to the template, the A duplicate column heading exists error is thrown trying to download the template. To avoid this error all the fields which meet the criteria to be added to the template must have a unique Display Name.
