Can I turn off the "1" that gets added when I copy objects
Jan 30, 2013
Ok I looked around but did not see anything about this. There may be but couldn't see it. When I copy an object (Any object really) from one layer to another or one slide to another it adds a "1" at the end of the object title. For example if I have a Rectangle and the rectangle is called "Rectangle" on slide 1 and I copy and paste that rectangle into any other layer or slide it adds a 1 and now the title is "Rectangle 1".
I double click the title and remove the 1 and hit enter and it the one is still there. If I double click to rename the object and before I remove the 1 I hit enter then double click the name again I can then remove the 1.
So I can still remove it but because a huge time waster so wondering if there is a setting somewhere to turn off the "1" being added to the label.
Since I am building templates for others to use I want the object names to be as clean as possible. Thanks for the help!

I don't think there is a way to disable that functionality since it's important to make sure that no objects are labeled with the same name. This is standard across all applications, not just Storyline.

Thanks Donna - It's weird though that I can change it after I copied it and it seems to run fine or can copy into 5 different layers and all have the same "1" at the end of it. If there is not a way around it that is fine just a little time consuming and annoying.
