I keep a healthy stock of characters. Am playing in a game tomorrow where the DM asked me to bring two 5th-level characters. So I copied one of my 20th-level characters, delevelled it, renamed it (to the same as the original), fixed it up for equipment and then joined the campaign with it. Then I check it out in the campaign and... it's the 20th-level version. I figure that I must've misclicked or something so I do the same with my other character with which I did the same process, and made sure that I joined with the 5th-level version: yeah, nah, it joined the campaign with the 20th-level version.

Damn, even if I try joining with the 20th-level version, it joins with the 20th-level version. I thought there might be some weird Freaky Friday shit going on but it's definitely somehow confusing the two entities by name rather than by their unique identifying number.

Ok, so just confirmed it: it's basing the selection off the original character's name. I just changed the name of the 5th-level version and joined with it, and it joined as the 5th-level version.
So process is: create 20th-level character. Copy that character. Change name to the same (so get rid of COPY_OF_) as the original. Delevel to 5th-level. Join a campaign with the 5th-level version. It joins campaign with original, 20th-level version. Change the name of the 5th-level version, join campaign with it, works fine.
