      let userId = (UserDefaults.myGroup().object(forKey: "UserId" ) as? String) ?? ""
      let items: [XXX] = UserDefaults.myGroup().sharedXxx.map { (sharedXxx) -> XXX in
         return XXX(identifier: userId + "_" + sharedXxx.Id // <== add unique prefix ===
                       display: sharedXxx.visibleName())
      }        
      let collection = XXObjectCollection(items: items)
      completion(collection, nil)
   }

}
