I am seeing the same problem. Uforms complains but the error message does not identify the field in question. hello?
error shown is: "Validation: The form contains a field with a duplicate alias: "
Not very helpful. As previous post mentions, I created a form with 2 fields, I clicked "Save" after adding each field. Clicking "Save" after adding the 2nd field renders the error. I even tried deleting and adding 2nd field with totally different name. No dice...
should I roll back to 4.4.0 for now? Upgrade to Umb 7.6.1 and Forms 6.0.1 seems fraught with issues, thus far.
I have a large form that has multiple fields with the same labels, unfortunately, UmbracoForms, therefore, generates them with the same alias which results in this issue. I have manually modified the JSON for the form to provide unique aliases, however, there is one I cannot yet track down as the error doesn't actually provide an alias for - it just says
Validation: The form contains a field with a duplicate alias:
Edit: IN actual fact its easy to track down the final one by doing a string search for "alias": ""
See my post above. Have you searched the JSON file to locate & update them? I'm away from a computer right now so not sure if you can manage group aliases in the UI.
I just saw this issue in a project where only the UmbracoForms.Core nuget package had been updated. It still had an old UmbracoForms version. It might also be that you just have to bump your clientDependency.config version number if you're not using nuget.
If using nuget, you should have these two packages with the same version number listed in packages.config.
Validation: The form contains a field with a duplicate alias
Updated Umbraco 7.6.1 - new install of Umbraco Forms 6.0.1
When I create a new form with 2 text fields I get this error when trying to save the form:
Validation: The form contains a field with a duplicate alias
The text fields are named: "Navn" and "E-mail"

... and you've renamed the email field with to remove the hyphen?
I can confirm the same issue here, running Umbraco Forms 6.0.2 with Umbraco 7.6.4
Same issue regardless of what I name my fields, or set my answer type to. I'm now stuck unable to create any new forms as a result.
Any know workarounds yet?
I have the same issue here, on Umbraco 7.6.3 and Umbraco Forms 6.0.2.
Not able to update any forms nor add new ones with more than one question. Copying a form works though, as long as I don't change anything.
Any luck with this?

has any one found a resolution to this?
I am on Umbraco 7.6.5 and using forms 6.0.5
When i create a text field on one group and create a second group with a text field, the error shows up when i try to save the form.
TIA

Hi guys,
I just saw this issue in a project where only the
UmbracoForms.Core
nuget package had been updated. It still had an oldUmbracoForms
version. It might also be that you just have to bump yourclientDependency.config
version number if you're not using nuget.If using nuget, you should have these two packages with the same version number listed in
packages.config
.The alias is editable with both packages on version 6.0.6.
