ran into a little issue with postal greetings --
it won't let you define two options with the same label -- even if they are for different contact types.

in our case I need to create Dear {contact.nick_name} for both indivs and households.

I think we either need to remove that validation rule or allow the multi-selection of contact types

(confirmed on sandbox)

sure: http://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-6786

looks like we could add some additional logic to:
CRM/Admin/Form/OptionValue.php
that checks whether there's also a match on $fields['contactOptions'] in the case of the greeting options before triggering the validation rule. i'll play with it.
