Description

This is a suggestion, if doable, to add a label or alias for challenge names. For example if I had a challenge called, "Invalid Geometry Check" but wanted to give label/alias "Invalid Geometry Features in China". This issue comes from trying to have multiple challenges and bumping into duplicate names.

Research direction

The issue names no files, entry points, or tests. Start by tracing how challenge names are stored, validated, and returned by the API; done requires an agreed alias or label behavior that supports duplicate-name use cases and relevant model or API tests.
