 * I attempted to duplicate an existing custom post type and it adds a numerical“
   2” after the title but otherwise just overrides the existing pod and doesn’t 
   actually duplicate anything. I’m on the latest version of Pods.

 * I haven’t been able to reproduce this yet. Is this a table-based or meta-based
   pod?

 * This is a custom post type pod and I believe it has to do with the character 
   length of the name. It appears the original is truncated to this and I can’t 
   add any more characters:
   clarke_speaks_articlSo I imagine when it tries to add
   a “2” at the end, it fails and just adds a 2 to the label. I was able to duplicate
   another that didn’t have such a long title with no issue.

 * [@sc0ttkclark](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sc0ttkclark/) Is there a limit
   to the pod name length?
