Hi, haven’t tested if this is even possible with attributes, but with the program rule ASSIGN functionality, you could potentially have a program rule that concatenates your different attributes into one, and you have a unique constrain on that. For example if you have first name, last name, date of birth as variables, you make a "unique id" attribute which is "John-Doe-20170843".
Just a thought.
