Unique Objects

WHAT DO YOU RECOMMEND

A “Must Be Unique” setting for Objects
There are Objects that that are freeform and may be duplicated and there are objects that should be unique.

HOW COULD IT BE DONE

Flag on the object to set a relationship to be unique, probably Name

REAL WORLD USE CASES

Have been building a household inventory and created an object for the Shop that things were bought from. I have accidentally created multiples of the same store when building from a set.

RECOMMENDED ALTERNATIVES

ADDITIONAL CONTEXT

I have been taking a database normalisation approach to building my objects (potentially creating an overhead that I will regret). This has reduced the typing I’ve had to do, but has accidentally generated multiple versions of the same object.

This would probably work hand in hand with disambiguators.
