When a developer selects the base templates for a new data template, what happens if those base templates contain a field with the same name?

Nah, I believe they just won't display at all.

Wait, are you serious? Duplicate names can actually show up?

I heard they just add a suffix to avoid confusion.

I think the fields get merged, right?

If base templates have the same field name, it can cause issues.

I’m leaning towards the idea that duplicate fields would just appear as duplicates on the data item, but that seems a bit messy, right?

I feel like they might add a suffix to distinguish between the fields, but I could be mixing it up with another topic.

I remember practicing a question like this, and I think the fields get merged somehow, but I can't recall the exact details.

I think if there are duplicate field names, they might just not show up at all, but I'm not entirely sure.

I'm not entirely sure about this one. I'll have to guess between A and B. Hopefully, I can eliminate one of those options through the process of elimination.

Ah, I see. If there are duplicate field names, XM Cloud will handle that by adding a suffix to differentiate them. That makes sense. I'll select option C.

If the base templates have fields with the same name, I would expect the fields to be merged on the data item. So I'm going to go with option D.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused on this one. I'll need to think it through carefully. Maybe I should review the base template documentation again.

I'm pretty sure the answer is C. XM Cloud will add a suffix to the field names to identify them.

C is the way to go. XM Cloud will add a suffix to the field names to identify them. That's a nice clean solution to the problem.

B seems correct to me. Duplicate field names will appear on the data item. That's the most logical outcome if there's a naming conflict.

I think the answer is D. The fields will be merged on the data item. It makes the most sense to consolidate the duplicate fields.

Actually, I think it's C. XM Cloud will add a suffix to the field names to identify them.

I agree with you, I also think it's D. The fields should be merged for efficiency.

No, I believe the correct answer is A. The field will not be displayed on the data item.

I think having duplicate field names would cause confusion, so merging them is the best option.
