### What Happened?

tienson said [here](https://github.com/logseq/db-test/issues/350#issuecomment-3004163946):

> logseq db does allow sharing the same name between different types, such as tags, properties and pages.

so the UX should allow that

### Reproduce the Bug

1. Create page "ppp"
2. Click "Set property"
3. Type "ppp"

### Expected Behavior

Option to create new property with that name, in addition to converting the page. Not sure if that should be the default option.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue through the “Set property” flow: create page “ppp”, then type “ppp”. Trace the UI entry point that handles the suggestions and property creation; done means the flow offers creating a property named “ppp” in addition to converting the page, with the behavior verified against the reported workaround.
