I really like the Trash feature with HA Reports & Dashboards. However, it may be just how I’m using it, but report/dashboard names have to be unique, including being unique from any that are in Trash.

I frequently clone a report or dash, make some minor adjustments or play around with formatting/grouping/showing etc, and if I like it better I’ll trash the old one, but then I can’t name my new one the same name. So I have to go back to Trash, rename the Trashed report “Archived” or “Deleted”, then I can name my new report the name I want to. 

It would save me some time if a deleted report either didn’t count towards the duplicate name restriction, or if a deleted report automatically affixed “Archived” or “Deleted” or something to distinguish it from future reports that will want to have the same name.
