Note  •   In a scenario where Unique Property A in Custom Object 1 has been assigned a value of 1, and Custom Object 1 is archived, a User will be allowed to assign the same value to Unique Property A in Custom Object 2. In this scenario, if a User retrieves Custom Object 1, the Talisma - Conflict resolution for failed Objects dialog box is displayed, to prompt the User to specify a different value for Unique Property 1 in Custom Object 1. If the User retrieving Custom Object 1 does not have access to the Team to which the item belongs, the User must set the value of Unique Property 1 to NULL. •   When you click Next to view a subsequent <custom object> item in the Archive Viewer dialog box, the details of the next archived <custom object>, are displayed. Although the specified filter retrieves both archived <custom object> items, and those that are not archived, <custom object> items that are not archived are not displayed in the Archive Viewer dialog box. •   If the Team, Category, or User details associated with the archived <custom object> have been deleted subsequent to the archival of the <custom object> item, when you restore such a <custom object> item, the ID of the related Team, Category, or User are displayed instead of the name. •   Documentation convention for custom Objects.
