      I think it should be optional on/off requirement. The likelihood that a serial is not unique is low, but still could happen.

        Was this mentioned on Snipe-IT gitter chat too?

        Yes.

        Agreed, that is what my FR request.

            Sounds like any field should have this ability, not restricted to serial numbers.

              I used the Asset Tag field for the company asset ID #, and the serial number field as the Dell Tag #.

              The should all be unique.

              I did a huge import and discovered some duplicates, but only a few and seems like they were typos or mistakes... i just added a -1 or -2 after the tag# to keep records straight.

              But yeah, I see the point, both should be unique really.

                For anyone interested this feature was added to the master branch a few days ago, I have it enabled and it works as intended.

                We had to generate a report of assets and serial numbers and found a handful of them, which we just cleaned up.

                        @dustinb3403 - Thanks. I am going to ask for an upgrade on my hosted version, as I am still on 4.4.1.

                          They must use the self-hosted version as the testing grounds for any major issues, that or are you expected to request system updates regularly?

                            Honestly, I don't know how they do that. I am pretty sure that I have had to request each upgrade. I think I started on 3.6 or something. That was about a year ago. When I started using it, the support for self-hosted was slightly more than having it hosted by them. So, I decided make it easy on myself and save a few bucks.

                              Do you have to ask to be updated to a specific release?

                              And updating the self hosted version for me is 1 command for Snipe-IT, while the host is just a another sudo yum upgrade

                                  It should be upgraded automatically.

                                    Technically I could have automatic backups and upgrades as well, but it would just be a scheduled event.

                                      It could be automatic, but I might be jumping the gun on the roll-out schedule.

                                        This is very possible, since I'm self hosted, whenever the GH page shows an update I pull them down. Which of course could cause issues but I like to be current.
