Hi everyone! I’m trying to create a unique property via the API on the Contact object. The property is being created, but the _hasUniqueValue_ property is being set to false despite explicitly setting it to true in the request. [This](https://community.hubspot.com/t5/Developer-Announcements/Unique-Properties-support-for-newly-created-Contact-properties/m-p/852664) post announces that support for Contacts has been rolled out so perhaps I’m making a mistake in my request, or there is some config in the UI I forgot to toggle maybe? (I am able to make it work for Company objects as a sanity check) ![testUniqueProperty.png](https://d2qpr2jzcazej7.cloudfront.net/original/2X/d/d30107da1fd15a2ede093cc738b51910438a3bf9.png) Postman example ---
