MATLAB: Error using concatenationLayer Cannot define property ‘Name’

Question

Hello,

I am trying to define a concatenation layer in Matlab 2020a but I get the following error:

Error using concatenationLayer Cannot define property 'Name' in class 'concatenationLayer' because the property has already been defined in the superclass 'Layer'.

I get the same error even using the simple command from the help from matlab

concat = concatenationLayer(4,2,'Name','concat')

This is strange, because I have been using this command since version 2019a but now that I migrated to 2020a I get the error.

I hope anyone can help me to fix this issue.

Best regards,

José

Hi,

Did you try using a new layer name other than 'concat', as the error mentions the name has already been used in a superclass.

I tried to work the same at my end, it works completely fine for me.

If the problem still persists, try using the following commands and retry your work.
