Livenspargar Hi, This is supposed to be a known bug related to constraints and the naming of the indexes created automatically. They are named with a space and something like e.g. 112_1. If You create the underlying indexes and name them first and then add Your constraints it's supposed to work. I haven't tried this method myself so I can't vow for it.
