Or alternatively if I add an enumeration, how do I constrain it so that the enumeration can only apply ...

I can't see the file, and this isn't an issue I've seen before. Generally, the only way to get duplicate names is to merge model files (such as with a source code control system) or hand-edit the xml. In any case, to clean up the .orm file:  Generally, if the error is not associated with a displayed element, then ...
