I started typing about the table and I decided to go look and not trust my 
memory. I found my error.

I had created an index on jobNumber. I wanted to make sure that there were no 
duplicates. I was hoping that when a user tried to put in a duplicate jobNumber 
the error would case an error page to be generated.

In my haste to create the index, jobNumber was marked to be a primary key. 
Removing the primary key in EntityModeler fixed my problem.

Of course now I have the other problem of what to do when someone uses a 
conflicting jobNumber. I didn't get a pretty page saying oops your jobNumber is 
already in use. But at least I can now insert 'Briefs'.

Thanks for making me see the errors of my ways.

So, is there a d2w way to (or a property) that can check for duplicates in an 
attribute? 

Is there an example of validation checking when I press that save button?
