  1. Create a text field with the name test and save it
  2. Create a media field with the name test and save it
  3. It says successfully saved
  4. Check the field overview
  5. the second test field is missing, maybe because of the same alias

Yep, alias have to be unique or it will not work. Since there is a discussion to remove (or at least rename) that field that isn't solved yet.

What changes can be made in order to fix this issue? Will showing a warning that says "Name already in use, Use a different one" work? Or is there something else that can be done?

My suggestion is to remove the alias completely and use the ID (which is unique by design) instead: #13182
