Issue
- Renaming a fragment set's folder and redeploying it creates a duplicate fragment set in Liferay DXP.
Resolution
- This is expected behavior. The folder name serves as an identifier for the fragment set. Changing the folder name and redeploying creates a new set. If the override option is selected during deployment, fragments in the original set are moved to the new set.
- Avoid manually modifying exported fragment sets to prevent this duplication.
- The following feature requests have been submitted to improve fragment set management:
-
LPD-44908: Add unique identifiers for fragment set deployments, allowing developers to control set updates.
- A feature request to enforce unique fragment set names within a scope, preventing accidental duplicates caused by folder renaming.
- A related issue, where renaming a folder moves fragments to the new set and leaves the original set empty, is documented in this article: Renaming a folder set moves the existing fragment into the new fragment set and leaves an empty duplicate set.
