Primary Key creation

Hi Team ,

Can we create Composite Key on Quick base Tables .

Like I have two column  Customer Name & Customer Address  in Customer Table .  I want to use
unique Identifier = Customer Name +Customer Address .

Is it possible to achieve this functionality .

  • Sure, create a formula rich text field and enter this as your formula:

    [Customer Name] & [Customer Address]

    If you want to make it more legible you can add a delimiter such as a pipe or underscore:

    [Customer Name] & "|" & [Customer Address]

    [Customer Name] & "_" & [Customer Address]

  • Quick Base does not have the functionality to be able to set a formula field as the Key field.
    But you can make a formula field and then use a form rule to fill in the key field on the form.
