How to use custom_index as identity

Hey, is there a way to use a custom index as a identity for upsert?

For example, I have a resource that has two nullable fields.

I want to create an upsert using them, but creating a identity with them will make null values distinctable one from another.

The solution would to use a custom index, but I can’t figure out how to use in the upsert

First Post!

You’re right that it doesn’t look like that is supported at the moment.

My suggestion for a work-around would be to add a custom_index to your resource and make a manual create action that performs the upsert you require directly with Ecto.

Hope that helps!
