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 –
- Click on Workflow Setup on the dashboard
- Select the workflow to be edited.
- In the Workflow Setup page, click on Form Creation to go to the field page.
- On the field, click on the field that you want to make a unique field.
- In the Field Settings tab, scroll down to the Validation setting, select Yes under the Unique section, and click on the Save button for the changes to get reflected.

This ensures that Employee No field cannot have duplicate value.
The below screenshot illustrates the error message when the Employee No field has duplicate value:
