Logical question about Bank input values

Using my Dolibarr Financial modules
1

Hi,

I noticed that when attempting to add a second bank account to Dolibarr, the ‘label’ field needs to be unique, while the ‘reference’ field doesn’t have to be. This is different from the behaviour in the products and services module, where the product reference must be unique, and the label doesn’t have to be (an inverse of behaviour).

Before I change the settings and adjust those two fields (ref to be unique and label doesn’t have to be), can anyone comment on if I myself am overlooking something? Was this just a simple design mistake?

Thanks.

An update, I do think my assumption is correct in that this was not by design and is instead a mistake - maybe introduced in a recent version of Dolibarr.

The reason I believe so is if you watch the video within the ‘Module Banks and Cash’ Dolibarr wiki page, the instructor mentions how the ‘Ref’ field must be unique and the label is just to name the account.
