Description

As a user, I want to know when there will be "soft" conflicts when importing a collection index. Soft conflicts include:

  • Duplicate names, where the STIX ID is different, but the object name is already found within the knowledge base. If possible this check should fuzzy match different capitalizations and space/hyphen combinations.
  • Duplicate tactic x_mitre_shortnames which could cause issues determining the tactics of a technique.

Research direction

Start by tracing the collection index import flow in the Angular application and identify where imported objects are compared with the existing knowledge base. Done means the import warns about duplicate object names, including capitalization or space/hyphen variations where possible, and duplicate tactic x_mitre_shortnames.
