    Duplicating list entries

    At last I got the actions working copy names from one tab screen to another. So what am I missing. There are two problems that is experienced:

    1. If I change the name from Dalal (which is already saved) to Dalal 35 and click on Save. There is another entry for Dalal 35 with all other contact in from Dalal.   

    2. Duplication: When I select the Dalal name and click on save it duplicates the entry.

    Can we get a pop up message for duplicating name?

     Hello Gita,

    For your 1st point, are you trying to only update the existing record? So for instance, if you update Dalal to Dalal 35 then only the name should be replaced but everything stays the same? If so, then you would want to check your actions to ensure you only have Save or Save all sections on that button.

    For your 2nd point, is it that you would like a prompt letting you know that you are about to duplicate the entry, with options to proceed or not to proceed? If this is the case, then yes, you can do so. You can add a 'Show Message' action with Yes and No options, before the 'Insert Records Into Table' action.

    Hope this helps.
