 * Hi,
 * I know this question has been asked before but I haven’t found an adequate solution.
 * I need 2 to 3 fields to be checked for duplicate entries and for a message to
   be displayed that it is already in the database.
 * Is this functionality something that could be released in version 1.6?
 * Thanks!

 * Probably not, I’m too close to release to add something like this…it’s been on
   the “would be nice” list for a while, but it’s more complicated than it might
   sound. This is especially true if you are trying to allow multiple records to
   have the same email, that creates lots of problems.
 * I have included a filter ‘pdb-incoming_record_match’ that will allow you to craft
   your own matching function, that would give you want you want…but you’ll need
   some code chops to write the callback.
