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!
