Workaround

SharePoint attempts to prevent the creation of duplicate column names in a single Content Type. However, it is still possible to create duplicate column names.  To work around this issue, rename one of the duplicate column names to an alternative name.

If the SharePoint archiving task attempts to archive a file that is assigned to a Content Type with duplicate column names, then archiving will fail if one of two conditions is true:

1. For the file being archived, the value of one column is NULL when the value for the other column is not.
2. One of the columns is a different data type to the other.
