Hey everyone, I’m new to Airtable.

I’m looking to create a form for an event. Each customer at the event will be given a unique card ID number. We’d like them to enter in their details (including the ID number) into a form.

How do I create a form whereby if someone enters in ID number 0001, no one else can enter in 0001?
