Which statement about the Element Name property is true?

• A. The Element Name must be unique within the OmniScript and any included reusable OmniScripts.
• B. It is always displayed during runtime.
• C. It can include non-ASCII characters.
• D. It is only used for internal logging.

Answer: (A)

Element Name is the unique identifier used for an element’s data and for referencing that element in mappings, conditions, and runtime logic. Because OmniScript can include reusable pieces, it’s important that every element name is unique within the entire construct—the main OmniScript plus any reusable OmniScripts it includes. If two elements shared the same name, the runtime wouldn’t know which one to bind data to or which rules to apply, leading to data binding and logic errors. That’s why the statement about needing uniqueness across the whole OmniScript and its reusable components is the correct one. Other aspects aren’t correct because the element name isn’t merely for display during runtime; it’s the underlying key used to structure and access the element’s data, so it’s not just for logging. In addition, naming typically follows standard constraints (ASCII, no spaces or special characters) rather than allowing arbitrary non-ASCII characters.
