If you use validation with ->unique(), don't forget to ignore the current record in the Edit form.
Otherwise, you will have a validation error "The [field] has already been taken." in the Edit form.
// Don't just do that:TextInput::make('name') ->required() ->unique(), // Do this instead:TextInput::make('name') ->required() ->unique(ignoreRecord: true),
