\There may be some special fields in your form and these fields cannot have duplicate value in any of the requests within the same workflow.
To make a field unique in the Form, the below steps need to be followed –
- Go to Workflow Setup from the dashboard.
- Select the workflow you want to update.
- Click on the Form Creation tab and select the relevant stage (e.g., Initiator).
- Click on the field that needs to be unique (e.g., Employee No).
- In the Field Properties panel on the right, go to the Validation tab.
- Scroll down to the Unique section and set it to Yes.
- Click Save to apply the changes.
Example:
Each employee is assigned a unique Employee Number. When an employee submits a request and enters their number, Cflow checks to ensure the same value doesn’t already exist in another request.
- If a duplicate is found, the system throws an error:
“Cannot have duplicate value in Employee No field”
- The request cannot be submitted until a unique value is entered.
