E4120 error

SavedVariables name used by several addons in the workspace

area: manifest (x4xxx)
fails the build: yes

Two addons of one workspace use the same SavedVariables name. The client keeps SavedVariables in global variables, so both addons would read and overwrite the same saved data.

Give each addon its own name, for example one that starts with the addon's name.
