GitHub Projects item naming conflicts with mixed issue types

4/10 Low

With the expanded 50,000 item limit in GitHub Projects, duplicate naming becomes a real problem. Multiple issues named 'UI' across different issue types (Tasks, Stories, Bugs) appear in the same view without clear differentiation, causing confusion and reducing project clarity.

Query: “What are the most common pain points with GitHub for developers in 2025?”4/5/2026

you would don't always group by parent/child in projects, so there are enough views where you would end up with (to keep this example) a list of three or more tickets all named 'UI'
