Two Roles with the Same Name and Rank

image

I understand that two roles can share the same rank number (1-255), but I haven’t ever seen two roles with the same name in a group until now (ofc I tried it myself before posting this). This happened when I asked my superior to make a rank for the studio and they ended up unintentionally making two identical ranks. They went to make a completely new role and somehow created two roles at once.

I checked the API, just to be sure, and it looks to me like the roles are completely identical (except for the role ID): https://groups.roblox.com/v1/groups/15222244/roles

Here’s the affected community: Archkos Simulators - Roblox

The owner was using an up-to-date Google Chrome at the time, and this took place on November 14th, 2024. Since I wasn’t the person who made the role, I don’t have all of the information on hand, but I can get more information if it’s needed.

Expected behavior

Each of the roles has two separate IDs, so they function separately just fine, but only one role was supposed to be created. More importantly, two roles with the same name aren’t possible to create normally. Only one of the roles should be able to exist.

Thanks for the report! We’ll follow up when we have an update for you.

Hello @tommyram , thank you for bringing this up! We’ve investigated and see that there are checks in correct place to prevent this issue. I see the roles were created 1 second apart so I’m curious, was this done through the Configure Community → Role settings or elsewhere?
