As previously noted, you'll need to do both: add "excluded." to qualify the
column names in the UPDATE. Here's a contrived example:
xof=# create table t(i integer, j integer, k integer);
CREATE TABLE
xof=# create unique index on t(i) where j != 0;
CREATE INDEX
xof=# insert into t(i, j, k) values(1, 2, 3) on conflict (i) do update set
k=k+1;
ERROR: column reference "k" is ambiguous
LINE 1: ..., j, k) values(1, 2, 3) on conflict (i) do update set k=k+1;
xof=# insert into t(i, j, k) values(1, 2, 3) on conflict (i) do update set
k=excluded.k+1;
ERROR: there is no unique or exclusion constraint matching the ON CONFLICT
specification
xof=# insert into t(i, j, k) values(1, 2, 3) on conflict (i) where j != 0 do
update set k=excluded.k+1;
INSERT 0 1
