Allow Custom Fields to Require Unique Values

It would be nice if, per folder/project, Wrike could support the concept of enforced unique values for custom fields. For instance, there are fields like PO Number, etc, which should only be used once - ideally, if the user entered a non-unique value into a form or a table which required unique values, Wrike would come back and provide an error/prompt to enter a unique value.

Hi everyone!

We need something very similar.
We are collecting our invoices in Wrike. Each invoice is a task.
Every time if we receive an invoice we fill out a request form. In this form we have to fill the "invoice number" field.
We would like to avoid to duplicate invocies in Wrike. We can solve this problem, if Wrike could check one of the custom field and if it is equal to the new task we should have an alert.

I think the idea behind this is very similar. I hope you can find a solution for this problem.

Another vote for this feature! We use reference tags based on project names to track a large caseload and currently assign and track those tags in a spreadsheet, then enter them into a custom field in Wrike. For various reasons, a sequential numerical or alphabetical tag system wouldn't work. It would be great for the admin team to be able to enter them directly into Wrike instead of having to enter in the spreadsheet first to check for duplicates.

Agree. ticket # would be very helpful. Common on other platforms. Make's finding a specific alot easier.
