aras_x003A_uniqueness_helper

I have a noticed the property 'aras_x003A_uniqueness_helper' on previous revisions of an item, what is this property used for?

Hello,

Angela did a good job of summarizing what this property is used for, but I'll try to rephrase it. When a versionable ItemType has some number of unique properties set on it, this uniqueness_helper is used to differentiate two versions of the same item that may have the same combination of values for the unique properties. As stated previously, this is a system property that is automatically set and can be ignored for all practical purposes.

I remember that I have seen this one before, but I cannot remember in which context. Were do you see this property? In the database? In the client?

I can query this property in SQL and AML using the Nash tool. I would like to know what it is used for behind the scenes. It seems to be a duplicate of the item id.
