    Hello, Thanks for responding. ^^

    i didn’t want to make any changes to the id field.

    i have a user struct like this.

    type User struct {
    	ID         primitive.ObjectID `bson:"_id,omitempty" json:"id"`
    	FirstName  string             `bson:"firstname" json:"firstname"`
    	LastName   string             `bson:"lastname" json:"lastname"`
    	Email      string             `bson:"email" index:"email" json:"email"`
     }
    
    

    i wanted the Email field to be unique, just like the ID. so when a new user tries to create an account with the same email, it’ll return an error.

    it isn’t a problem anymore because i figured out a way… i created a custom struct tag that validates whether a user with the same email exist in the database.
