Is there a way to create uniqueness constraints for an Entity?

You could define a Rule to flag “illegal” entities like so (where ‘Pages’ is the DB, and ‘URL’ is the unique field): [image] It sets the violating entity’s name like so: If( Pages.filter(URL = [Step 1 Page].URL).Count() > 1, "**DUPLICATE** " + [Step 1 Page].Name, [Step 1 Page].Name )

Has there been any progress on this request? Validation is vitally important to using this software in production. Without it, one can only rely on this as experimental or prototyping software.

Have there been any changes regarding the validation of fields? Even just forcing users to fill in a field would be better than nothing. Any updates on this?

There is nothing to report, I’m afraid.
