             Summary: [Namespace-UI] Issues/ambiguous error messages while adding a new attribute in a Namespace
                 Key: ATLAS-3636
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ATLAS-3636

Multiple issues have been observed when we click on add attribute in admin>administration>Namespaces>\{existing_namespace}
 # If the new attribute name and other parameters like Type, Max length, Applicable Types are the same as an existing attribute, it is going ahead and updating the attribute silently instead of throwing "Attribute already exists" error.
 # If the new attribute being added has all the parameters same except Applicable Types
 ## If we are adding a new applicable type without removing the old one, then it is silently updating the older existing attribute with the new applicable type
 ## If we try to remove/provide empty applicable types, then an error is being thrown in UI which is very ambiguous. Error is something like "Cannot remove applicableEntityTypes in Attribute Def: Region, defined in namespace: Customer"
 # Once you get some error while adding an attribute (like step Step 2, Sub-step 2 above), the same error message is being displayed for the subsequent additions. 
 ## For instance, I tried to add a duplicate attribute with the name Region. And then tried to add a duplicate attribute with the name country. But while adding country attribute, I am getting "Cannot remove applicableEntityTypes in Attribute Def: Region, defined in namespace: Customer"
 ## After this any attempt to add any new attribute with an non-duplicate unique attribute thorws the same old error. I tried adding a new attribute called Region1, but still keep getting the same error "Cannot remove applicableEntityTypes in Attribute Def: Region, defined in namespace: Customer"
 ## One can successfully add a new attribute only after a page refresh

Attached screenshots.
