I have created a custom list using Visual Studio. Now I have a requirement to set unique value to a column. I tried to set EnforceUniqueValue Property to true in Schema.xml, but it is throwing an error while deploying:

ExceptionMessage: This field must be indexed to enforce unique values. Source: AppWeb SourceName: App Web Deployment

    You must also set the Indexed property equal to true

By the looks of things you need to override the GetValidatedString method to be able to enforce unique values for a field other than the title field method described here

Hope this helps

In your schema.xml, you must include the Indexed property and set it to true. The same is required if you do it in event receiver code or through the user interface. Setting this will resolve your deployment error.
