AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):
Yes, it is possible to prevent files with the same name from being uploaded and overwritten via script. You can use a Client Script or User Event Script to achieve this. Here's a high-level approach: 1. When a file is being uploaded, you can capture the name of the file. 2. Then, you can perform a search in the File Cabinet to check if a file with the same name already exists. 3. If a file with the same name exists, you can prevent the upload and possibly show a message to the user indicating that a file with the same name already exists. Please note that this approach assumes that you are working with a form that has a file field and the user is uploading the file through this form. If the file is being uploaded directly to the File Cabinet, then this approach may not work. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
