I am working with a task list named "Tasks" and would like to validate that entries made into the field "Title" are unique.
How can I validate in my Nintex form against those requirements?
Can I use the custom validation option in the form settings or do I use "calculated value"?
I am already validating to use only certain characters with "Regular Expression".
Any help to create the formula is helpful.
Thank you in advance!

Hi there -
So if you use custom validation, you're going to need a JavaScript function.
I think another way to do it (off the top of my head) is to use a List Lookup control to lookup "Title" and display "Created". If it's populated at all (ie if Created = greater than 1/1/1900) then that means it's not unique, as it's found a match. Otherwise, it's good. I'd validate off that.
But ... JavaScript would likely be the better way if you're good with it. I ... am not. 
Cheers,

checking for uniqueness in forms is not reliable.
your better option is to configure Title list field itself to 'Enforce unique values'

Maybe using "Enforce unique values" in the columns is also an option. Thoughts?
definitely!
