I have a Content Type that is related to another content type where is is common that the node title repeats. For example, Content Type A = Medical Experiment and Content Type B = Day1, Day2, Day3, etc. I am running into the problem that Drupal apparently requires all nodes to have unique names.

Essentially, this is a node hierarchy and I want the node to always be treated as a sub-element of the parent node.

Any suggestion of how to deal with this?

Thanks in advance.

Are you using CCK?

You should be able to set up a textfield that will function as your title and hide the default Drupal title.

Sorry, gotta go, I'll be back with more details if you indicate that you need them!!

I am not sure what the issue is here. Drupal does not actually require unique titles for nodes. Can you clarify in more detail what you mean?

..Maybe it's more difficult to establish a relationship without a unique name.

I've used the CCK node reference module before and one of the ways you set the relationship is by choosing a node title to link to.
