Custom Message when duplicate Record detection

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 129

Hi,

 

I habe my Table

 

DepartmentUser
-----
ID
Name
Surename
Stuff

 

where I would like to have a duplicate detection rule on the pair of Name and Surname.

If someone wants to make a new entry and Name and Surname are already in the Table then a custom info message should appear with a description on how to proceed.

 

For the detection of duplicates i have made a Key wich includes both columns but I cant find something to set a custom message.

 

Thanks!

    Hi @StephanPrnb,

    You can set the custom message by exporting the translations, amending the right string/text (search within the Excel file) and re-importing the translations. Note though that the updated message will apply for all duplicate key message/error popups, not just for the alt key you created.

    More on translations:

    Export: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-apps/maker/data-platform/export-customized-entity-field-text-translation
    Import: https://learn.microsoft.com/power-apps/maker/data-platform/import-translated-entity-field-text 
    There's also a tool to facilate this that is part of the XrmToolBox: https://www.xrmtoolbox.com/plugins/MsCrmTools.Translator/
    Hope this helps!
