Program with name already exists error

Description description

You may see the error “Program with name already exists” when saving a program name, and this is because Marketo requires each program name to be unique.

There may be a scenario where you are trying to re-name an existing program to correct capitalization. (For example, your program is currently called “Test program” and you want to re-name it to be “Test Program”, but you get this error message.)

Resolution resolution

As a workaround to resolve this:

  1. Re-name your program with an extra character at the end, essentially to temporarily make it a different program name
  2. After that, re-name the program back to your original desired program name and it will save
