[Nfb-web] Drupal structure/content type question

[Rachel Olivero]

Tanya,

It's possible a content type that was already packaged with your install has
the same name. Two things you can try:

1.	On the field list screen, take a look at the dropdown to add an
existing field. See if there is a field there with the same name. If so, you
may be able to simply use it and not have to create another field.
2.	Prepend the name of your content type to the machine name of the
field. By default, the machine name will be your field's label with the
spaces replaced with underscores. You can change it on the add field screen
though.

Regards, 
Rachel

I am creating amy second content type and in the process of adding fields, I
cannot add any fields because I receive a status message that machine
readable name is already in use.
This is not the same name on the other content type. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks and Merry Christmas everyone.
