I'm building a custom object for conference attendance. My link field is "email address," but I want each year the person attended the conference to be a new entry to the object. To my understanding, the dedupe field would override the value in an existing conference entry.

At least one dedupe field is required, and cannot be datetime field.

You wouldn't use a dedupe field that would violate the one-to-many relationship.

Note that if the intent is to dedupe on a timestamp, like for timeseries data, you don't need an DateTime field. A microsecond timestamp (or even a nanosecond timestamp) can be stored in an Integer.
