  Modify Existing Record: If the record already exists and you need to update it, use the appropriate transaction to modify the existing record instead of trying to create a new one.
  Data Validation: Implement data validation checks in your application or process to prevent duplicate entries from being created.
  Error Handling: If this error occurs during a batch process or data migration, ensure that your error handling logic is robust enough to skip or log duplicates instead of attempting to create them.
