Strange behaviour if same field is used multiple times

[georgringer]

If you got 2 blocks using the same field but with a different configuration, there is no hint why a configuration is not used.

Example

got block cta with

  -
    identifier: link
    type: Text

and keyvisual with

  -
    identifier: link
    type: Link

now also the keyvisual didn't get the type link but stayed as plain input field.

I see there 2 options:

• Use the tca override to set the type to the proper configuration
• provide a warning

it is impossible for an integrator to find out the issue. I also wondering about the loading order as I thought that keyvisual wins over cta but that is a different thing

We need to make this constellation impossible and fatal out. Overriding is no option, as type should never be overridden per element.

Loading order is undefined, unless you configure priority for the block.
