DotCMS - adding multiple instances of the same container in template designer

Question

Is it possible to add more than one instance of the same container in the DotCMS template designer? This is without using advanced templates.

I am using a container called Announcement. Its content is a piece of text which then is displayed as an announcement.

Upon adding an instance of the Announcement container to a template through the template designer, it is no longer selectable from the list of containers when I try to add another. Is this intended?

Adding multiple containers of the same type through the advanced template editor is fine so I can't imagine this being a technical limitation.

Thanks.

As of 5.1, yes, you can have multiple versions of a container in a template.
