Notation for unique key in Entity Relationship Diagrams in Lucidchart

Hello everyone

I am using Entity Relationship to build my database schema and I have been aware we can use several notation for both a primary and a foreign key but I did not seen any hint on how to specify a unique key.

I have tryied to set the left column by setting "UQ" or "UNIQUE" but when I click on the export button on the left panel I get the column created with a simple "KEY" key and not a "UNIQUE" key.

Could you please tell me if it is possible to do this and if yes what is the correct notation?

Thank you in advance.

Anwar
