**Describe the issue / Steps to reproduce:**  
When creating a process with the new process function (that came up with version 5.0), I want to add the labels “yes” and “no” to the gateways. But when doing this it shows me the error of duplicated labels.

**Expected behavior:**  
I would like to add several “yes” and “no” labels throughout my process because there are more than one gateways.

**What was the error message/error log?**  
“The label is not unique.”

**System info:**  
Our system is hosted at bluespice and runs on version 5.0.

Hi Otti,

currently unique labels are a technical requirement for all process shapes. I created a ticket to see if at least for gateways this can be changed, because yes/no decisions are quite common as you pointed out.

The ticket number is #42395.

In the meantime you will have to be more specific with your labels to avoid this problem. If you have a gateway like “application is complete?” you need to write “complete yes” and “complete no” for example.

Thanks for your feedback,  
Margit
