+.. versionadded:: 3.2
+    The ``entityClass`` option was introduced in Symfony 3.2.
+
+By default, the query performed to ensure the uniqueness uses the repository of
+the current class instance. However, in some cases, such as when using Doctrine
+inheritance mapping, you need to execute the query in a different repository.
+Use this option to define the fully-qualified class name (FQCN) of the Doctrine
+entity associated with the repository you want to use.
