Default Way to turn off the message of a dupicate track number?

I like to do projects in the same session that may have many tracks. I like to name the clips in a track with ooo1, etc. But when I start numbering on the second track with the same scheme, I get an error saying that 0001 has already been used and I have to override the error and say use anyway. Isn't there preference or some way to avoid this error and still be able to number the takes the same on subsequent tracks? I've looked for a way to turn this off but can't find one. Thanks for any help!

Hmmm, never seen that here. My track naming is USUALLY like this:
KickIn.01
SnareTop.01
Hat.01
Bass.01
LdVox.01
etc
This is so making a new playlist will increment the numbers, showing me which playlist is take 1, take 2 etc.

Just to elaborate on this a bit. The scheme "Trackname.01" will automatically go to "Trackname.02" when you do a second take on a playlist. "Trackname.03" for third take, etc. The ".01" triggers the auto numbering for creating playlists within a track.
