    Hi, fabianlindfors.

    Is there any programmatic way to prevent duplicate entries from being created?

    I looked at the documentation on https://advancedforms.github.io/ and couldn’t find any filter or actions that would prevent an entry from being published if it already existed.

    It looks like the actions would be after an entry would be created, not prior to publishing it.

    Hi!

    Unfortunately, there is no such filter right now. Entries are meant to have a 1:1 mapping to form submissions and be as simple as possible.

    In your case, I would recommend using the “after” action to remove the entry if it’s a duplicate!
