Problem summary

• When a Business Object exists in a Process App and a Toolkit,
  with the same name, the code assist may get confused and provide
  the wrong properties.
  
  USER AFFECTED:
  Users trying to use code assist where there is a Business Object
  in a Process App and a Toolkit, with the same name (a name
  clash).
  
  PROBLEM DETAILED DESCRIPTION:
  When a Business Object exists in a Process App and a Toolkit,
  with the same name, the code assist may get confused and provide
  the wrong properties. This is due to the underlying internal
  model referencing Business Objects by their name, and no other
  information to differentiate between the location of the
  Business Object (either the Process App or a Toolkit). For this
  reason, when a lookup is done to determine the properties of a
  Business Object, the first one in the model with the matching
  name is shown. In some cases, this may be the one the user
  expects, or it may be the incorrect one. The behaviour is random
  depending on the order in which the items are stored in the
  internal model.
  

Problem conclusion

• This problem is now fixed and the underlying internal model is
  able to differntiate, by storing the location (project short
  name) of the Business Object, resulting in the correct code
  assist.
