@dosubot[bot] commented on GitHub (Sep 24, 2025):

The reason the organization schema's slug field is generated as optional (string?) in Prisma is because the Better Auth organization plugin does not set required: true for slug in its default schema configuration. The Prisma generator uses the required attribute to determine field optionality—if it's missing or set to false, the field becomes optional in the schema source, source.

To make slug mandatory, you need to explicitly set required: true for the slug field in your organization plugin schema config. For example:

organization({
  schema: {
    organization: {
      fields: {
        slug: {
          type: "string",
          required: true,
          unique: true,
          sortable: true
        }
      }
    }
  }
})

This will ensure the generated Prisma schema marks slug as required (String) instead of optional (String?). If you already have a custom schema config, just add required: true to the slug field definition.

Let me know if you need a full config example or run into any issues with this approach.

While this is a valid answer, there is a gap between the docs that set slug as mandatory and the reality with plug-in code.
What version is correct? docs or code?

In all cases this need to be fixed.

@dosubot[bot] commented on GitHub (Sep 24, 2025):

The code is the source of truth here: in the current organization plugin, the slug field is optional by default unless you explicitly set required: true in your config. The documentation implies slug should be mandatory, but that's not reflected in the actual implementation—so the code is correct and the docs need updating to match reality. If you want slug to be required, you should set required: true in your schema config. See the relevant code here.

The schema marks slug as required. Remember to add the organization plugin to your schema.

export const auth = betterAuth({
    plugins: [ 
        organization() 
    ] 
})

@dvanmali
I already set properly the org plugins.

Did you manage with prisma, with org plugin set, to create the appropriate prisma schema with slug as string and not "string?" ?

This is the commande I used:
npx @better-auth/cli@latest generate --output ....\packages\database\prisma\models\better-auth.prisma --config ....\packages\lib\src\auth.ts

Thanks

I have the same issue. Can we please reopen this issue @dvanmali?

The Prisma schema is being generated incorrectly, when using the organization plugin. The "slug" is created as nullable:

model Organization {
  id          String       @id
  name        String
  slug        String?
  logo        String?
  createdAt   DateTime
  metadata    String?
  members     Member[]
  invitations Invitation[]

  @@unique([slug])
  @@map("organization")
}
