Summary

Identical templates may not merge when importing a briefcase in Laserfiche client 6. Instead of merging an imported template with an identical existing template, Laserfiche client 6 may create a duplicate template with a different name.

Cause

When a repository contains more than twenty-five templates, Laserfiche is unable to match the templates in the briefcase with the existing templates.
