  • [DynamicPropertyUnique] is an ABP Low-Code attribute used on dynamic entity properties to indicate that the value must be unique across all records for that entity. Example from the Low-Code docs:

  [DynamicPropertyUnique]
    public string ProductCode { get; set; }
  

  • ABP Suite currently doesn’t generate/configure uniqueness for properties (i.e., it doesn’t have a “unique” option you can tick in the entity designer). This matches an existing ABP support answer: Suite doesn’t have this feature; you need to enforce uniqueness yourself (e.g., check before insert/update and throw a BusinessException, and/or add a unique index at the database level).

  • About your suggestion (“integrate support for unique properties into ABP Suite”): this is a product/feature request for ABP Suite. The current workaround is:

    1. Add a unique index/constraint in your database mapping (e.g., EF Core fluent mapping / migration).
    2. Add an application-level guard (query for existing value, then throw a BusinessException) to return a user-friendly message.

  Yes, I understand. I'm suggesting that ABP integrate it into future versions of ABP Suite to handle it in a consistent way. What do I need to do to get my suggestion to the ABP development team?

  Hi,

  Thanks for the suggestion. You're right, [DynamicPropertyUnique] is specific to ABP Low-Code's dynamic entities; ABP Suite's entity designer doesn't have a "unique" option today. We'll pass this on to the Suite team as a feature request.

  For now, uniqueness needs to be configured manually: add a unique index at the database level (for EF Core, b.HasIndex(x => x.ProductCode).IsUnique() plus a new migration), and check for duplicates in your app service or manager to show a friendly validation message. Put this mapping in your own model-configuration extension method (in a separate file) and call it from OnModelCreating, instead of editing the Suite-generated builder.Entity<...>(...) block — Suite removes and re-creates those blocks when you regenerate the entity.

  Thanks
