Magento 2 Error “URL key for specified store already exists

Question

Basically i am adding a custom category the problem is when i add two child category with same NAME in to one parent category where child category is already present then this shows error of URL KEY.

My code is

$category->setPath($parentCategory->getPath())
            ->setParentId($parentId)
            ->setName('test1')
            ->setIsActive(true);
        $category->save();

Is it possible to add two categories with same NAME in one parent category? thanks in advance

Answer 1

Yes you can add Same category name but please make sure URL key should be different or else Magento will not allow you to add same category name.
