Hi, I have 2 static collections from 2 different database tables. Both tables have a slug column that I want to use as the path. But I’m running into this issue below.

I don’t understand why it doesn’t work, as the slugs for both database tables are from different collections, they are just called the same thing (“slug”), because both are URL slugs I want to use. It’s not like I’m using the same slug path for both static pages?

So this URL path IS unique.

Must I rename the column in the second static collection? I would really prefer not to because I also have another API end point where I merge both and then filter based on what’s in “slug”.

Thanks! I actually opened a support ticket for this I think 1 - 2 weeks ago 🙂 Is there an ETA for this?
