Sequelize MySQL Migration - unique to false

I am trying to write a migration in Sequelize and MySQL, which sets the unique attribute to false. This is my approach so far:

module.exports = {
  up: async (queryInterface, Sequelize) => {
          await queryInterface.changeColumn("users", "name", {
              type: Sequelize.STRING,
              allowNull: false,
              unique: true,
          });
          await queryInterface.changeColumn("users", "email", {
              type: Sequelize.STRING,
              allowNull: false,
              unique: true,
         });
    },

 down: async (queryInterface, Sequelize) => {
          await queryInterface.changeColumn("users", "name", {
            type: Sequelize.STRING,
            allowNull: true,
            unique: false,
      });
          await queryInterface.changeColumn("users", "email", {
            type: Sequelize.STRING,
            allowNull: true,
            unique: false,
   });
  },
};

The up migration works like charme, the down migration works for allowNull, but not for unique attribute. I am new to Sequelize so I am wondering, what is going wrong here. Can someone help me out?

Thank you very much in advance.

Sequelize has "removeConstraint" method, using which you will be able to remove the constraint for the attribute.

public removeConstraint(tableName: string, constraintName: string, options: Object): Promise

Actually, if you don't specify the "constraintName" in creating, it should be of the form "attributename_unique_key".

Please try using this way

module.exports = {
  up: async (queryInterface, Sequelize) => {
    await queryInterface.changeColumn("users", "name", {
      type: Sequelize.STRING,
      allowNull: false,
      unique: true,
    });
    await queryInterface.changeColumn("users", "email", {
      type: Sequelize.STRING,
      allowNull: false,
      unique: true,
    });
  },

  down: async (queryInterface, Sequelize) => {
    await queryInterface.changeColumn("users", "name", {
      type: Sequelize.STRING,
      allowNull: true,
    });
    await queryInterface.removeConstraint("users", "name_unique_key");
    await queryInterface.changeColumn("users", "email", {
      type: Sequelize.STRING,
      allowNull: true,
    });
    await queryInterface.removeConstraint("users", "email_unique_key");
  },
};
