We are excited to announce the release of a new Omeka-S module called Unique Properties. This module is designed to enhance the metadata management capabilities of your Omeka-S collections by allowing you to enforce the uniqueness of property values for specific properties when creating or updating items.

Features
- Simple user interface: With a user-friendly interface, you can easily configure the properties that must have unique values.
- Validation on item creation and updates: When creating or updating items, the module will automatically validate the data and ensure that the configured properties have unique values across all items.
- User-friendly error messages: If the validation detects any duplicate value, the module will raise an easy-to-understand error message, indicating the issue and helping administrators correct it.
