I have a list that has a column which is an integer. Is it possible when selecting a number to validate if this number has already been chosen in the list.

For example

List

Title Order

Item1 1

Item2 2

I create a new list item, select '2' for the Order item, and SharePoint kicks back saying 'Please select an Order number which does not exist'

You can in the column settings on the list mark the field with "Enforce unique values", that way each entry must be unique!

  • The list has a couple of folders in it. Is it possible to make it unique per folder? Commented May 29, 2014 at 14:53
  • No it is not, not without attaching some form of workflow or EventReceiver Commented May 29, 2014 at 15:22
