Apex error code 29 occurs when an attempt is made to create or update a record that would cause a duplicate value in a field that has been marked as unique. This error can occur when a user attempts to create a new record with a value that already exists in the field, or when an existing record is updated to have a value that matches another record in the field. This error can also occur when a record is imported from a CSV file or other external source if the data in the field contains duplicate values.
