# Prevent Duplicate Posts

 * Hi
 * I’m using GFCPT with WP Job Manager Resumes and GF User Registration.
 * New users complete a registration form and are directed to a profile page where
   they complete a second form with fields mapped to the resume post type. I have
   the second form setup to update the user’s information via the User Registration
   Update User feed option, so the data remains persistent in the form and also 
   successfully updates the resume display each time it is submitted.
 * The issue is every time the user updates the form it creates a new resume which
   still displays fine since by design WPJM Resume always displays the latest resume,
   but I was hoping to find a way to get around the duplicate posts since they will
   appear in search results.
 * Is there some way the Post Status dropdown in the Title field could include a
   custom “post status” versus “publish”, or perhaps a way to update the post versus
   publishing a new version each time?
 * Thanks!
