Catalog/Inventory V2- Identify ownership of a unique item?

Hi,

In our game we have many unique items that are owned by only a single player each. The items can be traded (bought/sold).

What would be the easiest/best practice to know about which player owns a specific unique item? I was thinking on some static title data, but the ownership can change if the item is sold between players in the game. In catalog displayProperties doesn't make much sense as catalog is meant to be cached.

Thanks!

Currently, Economy V2 doesn’t support limited items feature. Please feel free to post a feature request for it. And since you need some global variables to store the ownership of the unique items, although PlayFab provide Title Data feature for global data, but it best suited for “global constant/static data” and is not suitable as “global variable”, for the Title Data is cached, and the changes may take up to fifteen minutes to refresh in those caches. So, you may need external database to store the data you want.
