This is a side effect of error messages being pretty raw! Entity list names are unique within a project. The error message is saying that there is already an entity list with name trees in project with id 56. I agree that it looks strange. It happens across other resources as well and we could consider those together at a later time.

It happens across other resources as well

Now that we've resolved #144, I think we've mostly addressed this for other resources. We tend to handle 409 errors on a case-by-case basis rather than in a global way. For example:

• https://github.com/getodk/central-frontend/blob/2bb17a501416814bbd987ddc953abc5b0c40c58a/src/components/user/new.vue#L115
• https://github.com/getodk/central-frontend/blob/2bb17a501416814bbd987ddc953abc5b0c40c58a/src/components/form/new.vue#L314
• https://github.com/getodk/central-frontend/blob/2bb17a501416814bbd987ddc953abc5b0c40c58a/src/components/form-draft/publish.vue#L261

I think we could fix this one now or in a future release. We have an existing mechanism to handle Problem responses like this, so it shouldn't be a heavy lift.

Oh! Yes, of course, sorry about the misinformation.
