image of the unique field setting within Ninja Forms restriction settings. The Unique field selector is labeled with a 1 and the unique field error message is labeled with a 2.

By designating a field on the form as a Unique Field, you can ensure that a single value can only be selected once. For example, if you designate an email field as the form’s Unique Field, and someone submits the form with happyllama@bahamallamas.net, no future submissions of that form can be made using that email address. At this time, only one field on the form can be designated as a Unique Field.

  1. Designate the field on the form that you want to be used as the Unique Field
  2. This is the error message that will display to any future submissions that duplicate previously submitted data in the Unique Field.
