    Seems that I found a workaround if you can open the it in the browser you can simply go to Table Columns => change the URL to #Keys instead of #Columns ;

    Looks like the API isn't available for Dataverse for Teams either.    

     ""For...Dataverse API access...the Dataverse for Teams environment will need to be upgraded to Dataverse." and "No direct API access to Dataverse for Teams will be provided" "

     

    Looks like the only way to make unique is programmatically (check if the value exists in the column and reject adding the value if it exists) and then avoid adding rows through the Table editor?

    I wonder if you could do it through the API. If I had the time, I'd try it. maybe someone can give it a whirl?

    Hi @Anonymous ,

     

    It looks like we cannot create alternate key in dataverse for teams. Only we can add/modify Columns, Relationships and views.
