Description

If I have a map with multiple layers with the same name, let's say Surface. In rule file I have layer input_Surface. Then automapping feature is working with only first of Surface layers in the map. It would be nice if it was checking all layers with expected name.

Research direction

Locate the automapping implementation that resolves layer inputs, then reproduce the case with multiple layers named Surface and an input_Surface rule. Done means automapping considers every layer with the expected name rather than only the first one.
