Delete Branch "%!s()"
Deleting a branch is permanent. Although the deleted branch may continue to exist for a short time before it actually gets removed, it CANNOT be undone in most cases. Continue?

Verified issue does not already exist?
What happened?
It is currently possible to create infinite categories with identical names under the same parent category.
I had a category called Obsidian which I had hidden a little while ago, I had forgotten about it and decided to start my Obsidian subscription again, created another category called Obsidian which Actual allowed me to do.
When you select the category Obsidian from the Category drop down on the account sheet you are then presented with both categories
or in the case of the demo budget all the Food categories
What error did you receive?
No error
Where are you hosting Actual?
Fly.io
What browsers are you seeing the problem on?
Microsoft Edge
Operating System
Windows 11

@youngcw this isn't fixed yet - #1843 hasn't been merged.
