unique_entry_values not able to update

[mundgold]

PHP Version | 7.4.25
Statamic 3.2.23

I have a "reihen_id-field" in my collection - the entered value has to be unique.

My Validation Rule: unique_entry_value:series,reihen_id

title: Series
sections:
  main:
    display: Main
    fields:
      -
        handle: reihen_id
        field:
          input_type: text
          antlers: false
          display: 'Reihen Id'
          type: text
          icon: text
          width: 25
          listable: hidden
          instructions_position: above
          validate:
            - required
            - 'unique_entry_value:series,reihen_id'
      -

If I create a new Entry everything works like expected. But if I update an entry I get an error-message "This value has already been taken."

Thanks for any hints!

You shouldn't replace the parameters. You should leave them with the literal braces, like this:

validate:
  - 'unique_entry_value:{collection},{id},{site}'

Statamic will replace them for you.

Thank you for your quick reply,

Now I did it that way:

          validate:
            - required
            - 'unique_entry_value:{series},{reihen_id},{default}'

now the validation do not work -> I can add entries with the same "reihen_id"

Can you figure out, what I am doing wrong ?

Thanks in advance

Don't change anything. Copy exactly what I wrote:

'unique_entry_value:{collection},{id},{site}'
