Hi Chathura,

IMO naming an unique attribute as "Name" is a bad practice. I think naming
it as "App ID" or "Asset ID"or some other name which indicates attribute's
uniqueness will be a better approach.

Also name would give an incorrect message to the user since the value of
> the name is visible to the user.

Instead of "Name, "Display Name" is always shown to the end-user in AppM
store for both web apps and mobile apps. (see also [1]).

Thanks & Regards.
