unique fails
I have this little piece of code:
->unique(
table: Sitemap::class,
column: 'slug',
ignoreRecord: true,
ignorable: new Page)
supposedly it keeps the same slug saved if I edit anything and I save it again, but it tells me that the slug already exists.
Can anyone help or give a suggestion?

what should
ignorable: new Page do?
and is the table really different from the Resource one?supposedly ignorable: new Page, ensures that the current Page model instance is ignored during the uniqueness validation of the specified column in the specified table
and the table is the same
Like this, you create a page and save it. then if you want to edit the page where you don't change the slug (like enter whether it is active or not or another field. as in the database the slug is the same it will say that it already exists
This little code should prevent that, but it's not happening
I understand what you try to achive, but the
ignorable: new Pageis just useless. new Page create an empty instance of Page, which has no corresponding entry in the database
ignorableis used if you want to ignore a specific record. For example ignoreable: Page::find(1)
Doesn't just ->unique(ignoreRecord: true)work?
Why do you need to provide the table ? Is it really another Model then the one from the current Ressource?
And why column: 'slug'? Does your field have another name then slug?ignoreRecord: true doesn't work which was the first thing I tried
Yes is another model, so I'm giving the name of the table and column to give SQL errors, which is what I was getting before with ignoreRecord: true
The slug is in this resource, but when you save it it will be saved in another table
Even when recording erases it and replaces it with the same one or another one if it is different
