# Bug: Problems with duplicate column names

 * Hi!
 * I found there is a problem if column labels are not unique. I have a post type
   that has many ACF fields. In export I had two columns with label <address> routed
   to different ACF fields. This caused problems as the first <address> field was
   never populated by data even though there is data for that field. To make sure
   this is only due to label names I changed the other label as <address_2> and 
   the data was populated correctly.
 * To recreate this problem:
    – Make to columns with exact same label – Preview 
   row or export to see the results
 * I can avoid this problem by naming all the labels with unique names but I thought
   this was something you should know about.

 * Hi!
 * I can wait for the next version. The quick fix was to rename the columns to be
   unique in the only occasion I had this problem.
 * I’ll mark this one resolved already because the solution is coming and there 
   is a work-around for now.
 * Thanks!
