#1197 - Detect duplicate email address
Does Duplicate Detector find duplicates based on email address? That is key for me to purchase.

Hello, No, Duplicate detector is not supporting Email Address type. As of now SugarCRM Field type supported is Varchar, Name and Phone.

Email address is logically THE best field to be able to detect duplicates on. Can you advise when this will be implemented? Likely this will effect whether or not we purchase.

Hello rasselman,
The email address field type is tightly designed to the core changes. We had thought of incorporating email duplicate checks. Because we want the plugin to be UpgradeSafe (Not touching the core files) we haven't check duplicates on email address field.
However if you require we can give you a unupgradesafe solution to it, Nothing to worry much by unupgradesafe, It won't harm anything. Unupgradesafe means whenever you upgrade your CRM, there would be chances of our changes being removed. However the changes can be kept back.
Though we are looking into it if we can get that as upgradesafe solution.
Let us know if you really need email duplicate checks and if possible unupgradesafe way.
Thanks & Regards, Team Urdhva Tech
