We’ve enhanced how the system handles variant names within a variant group to ensure uniqueness and data integrity.

What’s changed:

• Existing duplicate variant names (created simultaneously in the past) are now automatically renamed:
  • The variant created first retains its original name.

    • homepage-banner
    • homepage-banner_(1)
    • homepage-banner_(2)
• New variants can no longer be created with a name that already exists within the same variant group, even across different sessions. If a variant with the same name already exists in that group, the system will prevent its creation.

These changes ensure consistent and conflict-free variant naming for existing and future data.

Bug Fix:

• Resolved a “Request-URI Too Large” error for requests with long URLs.

Here’s an overview of the latest updates in Contentstack Launch:
