Hi guys! Chiming in - I think Abyot is on leave today. This seems to be a discrepancy that we should just resolve one way or the other. You might say that a blank value is not unique, but I have also recently encountered a use case where we needed a non-compulsory unique attribute like you Jose.
Hiding the field with program rules was a workaround in our case, but I think it makes sense to allow blank values in non-compulsory unique attributes. Unless there is any disagreements we can implement the client to conform to the API.
