    You can use Code in numbered lists to enter names, The numbered list property itself will restrict on entering duplicate values. You can also set Display name property to show Code.

    Now, according to image shown above if I try to repeat "User 5", Anaplan throws an error!

    Although if you want to warn user when they enter duplicate name:

    1. Use ISFIRSTOCCURANCE to check if the entry holds unique display name or not.

    2. Make another line item to put comments like "Try different Name" by using If Then Else functionality when the name is repeated.
