I am facing an issue with duplicate objects. When I create two identical objects, the second object is still created without any notification that this object already exists. Is there a way to fix this?

**Hi @alexdang**

Thank you for your message.

For now, in Datagerry, it is indeed possible to create multiple objects with identical values. The system does not enforce any uniqueness constraints by default, and there is no built-in mechanism to prevent or notify users about duplicate entries.

Please let me know if you need further assistance 🙂

**Best regards,**  
Abdullah

So, if I face this issue, I have 2 same objects in 1 type, how can I deal with it? Thanks for your help

**Hi @alexdang,**

At the moment, it is not possible to automatically detect or prevent duplicate objects in Datagerry. You would need to manually review and manage duplicates as part of your documentation process.

Your feature request will be discussed in the next PM meeting. Further information will be provided afterwards.

Hi Abdullah, Hi DataGerry Team,

thank you for the information. Unfortunately, we are also affected by this issue and would like to see it resolved quickly, but we understand that there are other topics with higher priority. Is there an overview of which issues are currently in development and which are in the backlog?

Many thanks & kind regards,
