How to make unique column in model-driven

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 26

Hi everyone,

I have a model-driven application, I want to make more than a column with unique values in some entities .. I don't want any duplicates in these columns and check before a new record is there same value in the column or not
Maybe my question is basic but sorry for that, I'm new in Powerapps

Thanks for your support

    You can do this using Data Deduplication rules - see https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-platform/admin/set-up-duplicate-detection-rules-keep-data-clean

    Create an alternate key. This will ensure that the values in this column are unique https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/developer/common-data-service/define-alternate-keys-entity
