  Locally? Can you check your db to ensure the index was created? Sounds like it is not

  Got the same issue here. If the field already existed without the unique index, it seems to be ignored.

  drop the collection and create it again with desired attributes, made the magic.

  Is there any other way that doesn't loose production data?

  
  
  

  Sign in to mongo express and add the index manually? I'm not so handy with Mongo...
