Hi, all.

I'm using OpenCart 3.0.3.6 and I'm making a site for spare autoparts.

I wonder if there's a way to add a box which says for example "This attribute/filter/make etc. already exists" when there's a duplicate name?

By the time I'm done with my products, they'll probably be a hundred attributes and filters so it will be hard to keep count which ones I already added.

Thanks in advance.

Where? Any URL with the precise page you could demonstrate?

Sorry If I didn't word it correclty, I meant in the admin menu when you add new attributes/filters etc if there's a way if a name is duplicate, to show a message like this.

Yes, by creating a new event, and output the error message in JS codes, this could be done. However, ensure to install the TWIG Modification fix from the Marketplace since there's currently a bug with the admin TWIG outputs when using the events.

You can always find someone to do to it for you by creating a new service request in the Commercial Support section of the forum, by contacting an Opencart partner by using the Resources link at the top of the site or contact me directly via PM to get this done as a custom job.

If you can't find an extension, you could pay a developer such as ourselves or post a job in the Commercial Support Forum.

Yes, with the help of an extension you can be able to detect duplicate products.
Following is some of the extensions that can help you out:
