If it creates new records, then the name is not unique. You may also want to check languages and translations or any hidden/non-obvious characters.
Thanks for your answer. But, there is not any issue with language. Will it identify the unique record from the name automatically?
As I know, odoo identifies the unique record using external ID.
The name has to be unique for this to work.
Yup name is unique. But currently, it happens that when I am uploading the file with same name, it generates a new record. Now, I want that if the name is same, the record must be updated.
Which model are you trying to load data into ?
Its my custom model. Which has only two columns, name and other one.
Is the name field called "name" ?
Have you set it's attributes as Required, Stored and Indexed ?
Yes the field name is "name". But, I have not set Required, Stored and Indexed. Should I need to set it?
Yes. Set it to Required, Stored and Indexed.
have you manage to solve these ?
