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.
