Uwe you are correct in your discovery regarding uniqueness. There is a bit of history to the problem which I can't go into all the details here. But I do agree that global uniqueness of catopt codes (and names) shouldn't be required across categories, but currently unfortunately you will have to work around it till we work up a better solution.
