Is there more information you can share for a reproduction?

06/07/2023, 2:50 PMwhat's your workspace id? and the name/type of the block you're trying to create? (feel free to DM it to me if you're more comfortable)

06/07/2023, 3:17 PMThanks for raising this! this looks to be a UI bug with validation. I filed an issue here: https://github.com/PrefectHQ/prefect/issues/9850
You're right that blocks names should be unique within the combo of a workspace + that block type. In the meantime you may need to name your blocks something globally unique to your workspace

06/09/2023, 7:53 AMHI @Jake Kaplan I saw this was merged and is in 2.10.13 so I was expecting it to work on cloud - unfortunately still have same issue
Is it just a time lag thing or does the fix work?
