Forcing a Unique Rule to Ignore a Given ID in a FormRequest

[prescriptionlifeline]

I'm trying to make it so that CRUD validation forces a unique rule to ignore the ID of the user being edited. In the "Forcing a Unique Rule to Ignore a Given ID" section of https://laravel.com/docs/11.x/validation#rule-unique there's this:

Validator::make($data, [
    'email' => [
        'required',
        Rule::unique('users')->ignore($user->id),
    ],
]);

In #1015 (reply in thread) it was suggested I do backpack_user()->id but that doesn't work as that's equal to the user currently logged in - not to the user being edited.

I'm using this to identify the class that's doing the validation:

CRUD::setValidation(OldUserRequest::class)

If I wasn't using CRUD::setValidation then maybe https://stackoverflow.com/a/66301928/569976 would work but, as is, it doesn't.

Is the only way to get this to work to use array validation?

Hello @prescriptionlifeline

Did you try to use:

'email' => 'required|unique:users,email,' . $this->id,

Let me know if thats work for you.
