You might consider post-processing this until a version of "attribute assistant" is available for the arcgis platform. There are bigger problems when considering the potential for multiple users and the possibility of disconnected states in Collector/Mobile. We have the same problem with sde geodatabase unique fields as they are not supported in a multi-user environment so the only solution for us has been attribute assistant and/or post processing the generation of the ID's.&nbsp;</P></BODY></HTML> Mon, 28 Nov 2016 21:58:46 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-collector-ideas/support-fields-that-require-unique-values-in/idc-p/950386#M764 RonnieRichards 2016-11-28T21:58:46Z
