A couple of our clients use [CiviCRM](https://civicrm.org/); one of them uses
the "Mailing" features to send out emails to their supporters. Apparently,
they're facing a bug where if someone sends out a Mailing with the same name
(not subject line, just the internal identifier 🙄) as an existing one, it'll
freeze the CRM later.
Some of our clients use [CiviCRM](https://civicrm.org/) which is a popular open source "constituent relationship management" platform;
one of those clients uses the "Mailing" features to send out emails to their supporters. We found out they're experiancing a bug where a user sends out a mailing with the same name (not subject line, just the internal identifier 🙄) as an existing mailing, it'll cause the CRM to
freeze up at a later time.
As an added challenge, the Mailings feature of CiviCRM [now uses
AngularJS](https://docs.civicrm.org/dev/en/latest/framework/angular/) following
a recent rebuild, and there aren't many tutorials or examples out there.
Luckily, the CiviCRM developer community was super-helpful, and we managed to
sort out some in-form validation to prevent duplicate Mailing
names for our client… and now for you, too!
