Can't create a Challenge due to existing deleted challenge with same name

[atiannicelli]

• Create a challenge named "This is a test"
• Then delete that challenge (soft) so it still shows up when you get a list of challenges from the project.
• then try to create a challenge with the same name: "This is a test".

I get an error: 500
{
"status": "KO",
"message": "Challenge with name This is a test already exists in the database"
}

Any news on this issue? I have the same problem.

Currently my (dirty) workaround is to add a single whitespace at the end of the challenge name. Also tried to change upper-/lower-case, but that didn't work as challenge names seem to be case insensitive.

I think there is a way to permanently delete the challenge, but it may take a day or so I think. I've just resolved to rename challenges that I'm going to delete BEFORE I delete them.
