Learn about the rules that apply when you select the Create transforms when the names of inputs and outputs are the same option in Auto map (automap).
When you select Create transforms when the names of inputs and outputs are the same, the following rules apply:
However, if you have multiple inputs with the same name as one output and you choose to map by the same name (or similar name) and to match descendants, an attempt is made first to match by path and name. If a match is found, one transform is made, and no further matches are considered.
However, if you have a single input with the same name as multiple outputs and you choose to map by the same name (or similar name) and to match descendants, an attempt is made first to match by path and name. If a match is found, one transform is made, and no further matches are considered.

During step a) items/item/partNum and items/item/partNum are matched.
During step b) partNum and resources/partNum are matched.
Inputs and outputs matched in a previous step are ignored in later steps.
When you select the Map the immediate children of the selected elements option, the only step taken to match names is to compare the item name without the relative path.
