Reset sequence value after file-based import

[eliteproxy7]

adding a new item on a collection, get the following error

There were validation errors for the following hidden fields:
id: Value has to be unique

Version: Directus v9.0.0-rc.76

this seemed to have started after I updated some items with the new import from file method but I am not sure.

Ah that would make sense actually. Those creations will save the primary keys included in the CSV, but that won't reset the sequence used in the database.

What database are you using?

[eliteproxy7]

Postgres 13

for anyone looking how to reset this on the DB side

1. run this query SELECT MAX(id) FROM your_table;
2. SELECT nextval('your_table_id_seq'); mine was [your_table]_id_seq
3. if the Valu from step 2 is not greater then the value form step1 then go to step 4
4. run this query SELECT setval('your_table_id_seq',(SELECT GREATEST(MAX(your_id)+1,nextval('your_table_id_seq'))-1 FROM your_table)) "your_id" is the value from step 1
