On Rhino 8, the Block Name Conflict dialog box does not appear when you update on opening a file. This worked on Rhino 7.
This is a sister problem to the Bug - BlockEdit Linked block renames nested blocks - Rhino 7.

Thanks @nsgma I could repeat the following:

Created a block named block 01 in one file
Created a block named block 01 in second file

Inserted second file into first file:

Embedded - Block conflict dialog comes up
Embedded an Linked - Block conflict dialog comes up
Linked - Block dialog does not come up

RH-82281 Linked files show no block conflict dialog

Hello @Gijs
That was not the problem I was reporting, we don’t use Linked files.

I did a Rhino 8 update this morning, now it is working as expected on opening update. Either it was solved or I did something different.

This is how to check:
Create a file Child.3dm.
Create a file Parent.3dm. Insert Child in Parent as Block Linked and embedded.
Create a file Grandparent.3dm. Insert Parent as block Linked and embedded. Both Parent and Child are now blocks in Grandparent. Close Grandparent.
Edit Child and save.
Edit Parent, update Child and save.
Reopen Grandparent, a window will say that Parent and Child are newer files and asking do you want to update now or later. Press Update Now.

In Rhino 7 the Block Name Conflict dialog appears.
In Rhino 8 the Block Name Conflict dialog did not appear, but now it does.
Either it was solved after this morning’s update or I tested it wrongly yesterday.

In either case the title problem seems to be solved.
