Problem

The introduction of Confluence Databases allows users to manage structured data efficiently but lacks the ability to assign or display unique identifiers (similar to a "primary key") for each row.

Suggested Solution

Introduce an automatic uniqueness generation feature in column (field) for Confluence Databases. This could be either:

1. Automatic unique field: Automatically include a hidden unique field in new databases, which users can opt to display. This field would feature system-generated, immutable fields for each entry.
2. Manual unique field: Allow users to add a "Unique Identifier" field type that generates a unique ID for every new row added, ensuring each entry's distinctiveness.

This feature should generate unique entries in either sequential or with a default format to guarantee uniqueness within the database.

Why This Is Important

Unique identifiers are essential for:

• Efficient Data Management: Facilitate the precise referencing, tracking, and querying of entries.
• Integration Capabilities: Enable reliable data syncing and updating across different systems or platforms by providing a consistent reference point.
• Maintaining Data Integrity: Ensure accurate identification and tracking of data over time.

Incorporating unique identifiers into Confluence Databases would substantially enhance their functionality, making them more comparable to traditional database systems and significantly improving user experience.

Workaround

There's no workaround at the moment. When a workaround is available, it will be added here.
