That is correct. If you set the value of a field to a function as in "now()" then the value from that function will not be known until the query is executed. You cannot use functions for unique keys as RADICORE will test for uniqueness before the query is executed.

You should remove "now()" from the default value in the Data Dictionary and set the "Auto Insert" property instead. This will allow the framework to obtain the correct value before the test for uniqueness is performed.
