Renaming an alias to an existing name is not prevented by input validation
Added by Jim Pingle about 9 years ago.

Description
If you create two aliases and rename the second one to the same name as the first, it is allowed by the GUI but obviously undesirable. Creating a new alias with the same name as an existing alias is prevented as expected.
Bug is present on 2.1.x, 2.2.x and still on 2.3.

The problem is still present on master (2.3), but appears to be fixed on 2.2.x.

I don't have a system setup with 2.3 just yet. I looked at the processing and the new bootstrap code still seems to pass across 'id' like before, and:
$a_aliases = &$config['aliases']['alias'];
looks to have the same structure as previously.
So I expect that the same validation loop from 2.2.* will work in 2.3
Hmmm - what is the trick?
- Status changed from Confirmed to Resolved
I synchronized my VM again and now it worked. Somehow it must not have picked up this change the first try.
