Title:
"field may not be empty" + "unique"
Post:
I can't find any references anywhere - Bento Help file, here, Google - to two functions that seem very basic,
a) to specify that a field may not be empty, so that the app reminds you of anything you've forgotten to fill in when you leave a record; and
b) unique value in a field, so you don't have to entries for the same person or thing
- even Claris/appleWorks has them ... are they there and I'm missing them?
Grateful for any thoughts
Answer
(a) and (b) are not supported in Bento.

Thank you for your posts.
The answers provided by "pvonk" are correct. However, there is an option for a unique value in a field. An Automatic Counter field type will display a unique number. Then again, reading your post "... don't have two entries for the same person or thing" alludes to a Text field.
I have forwarded both suggestions to our Development and Product Management departments so they can consider these options in a future release.
