angular: Forms should throw error if two or more NgModels appear in form with the same name

Current behavior
Currently there is no error or warning if two form controls have the same name:
<input name="entireStateCoverage" type="checkbox" [(ngModel)]="item.entireStateCoverage">
<input name="entireStateCoverage" type="checkbox" [(ngModel)]="item.active">
Expected behavior
Forms should throw error if duplicate names are detected.
What is the motivation / use case for changing the behavior?
This leads to unpredictable results (value overwrites) which are difficult to find.

I’d like to work on this issue.
@phalgunv Are you still working this? If not I’d like to give it a shot. Thanks!
@phalgunv The angular project uses yarn instead of npm. So just install yarn with “sudo npm install --global yarn” and then install the packages with yarn “yarn install”. I would also like to contribute to this project, do you want to work on this issue together?
