Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: D

According to the Sitecore XM Cloud Documentation for Developers1, a template inherits sections and fields from its base templates. When there are several base templates associated with a data template, fields and sections from inherited templates are merged. To configure the base templates for a data template, you can use the Base Templates dialog box in the Template Manager or the Content Editor1.

C is the way to go. XM Cloud will add a suffix to the field names to identify them. That's a nice clean solution to the problem.

B seems correct to me. Duplicate field names will appear on the data item. That's the most logical outcome if there's a naming conflict.

I think the answer is D. The fields will be merged on the data item. It makes the most sense to consolidate the duplicate fields.

I think having duplicate field names would cause confusion, so merging them is the best option.
