In CRM 2013, Duplicate record detection feature on create/update form has been removed due to the ‘Auto Save‘ functionality, which saves the form frequently.

Below are the 2 ways we can bring back the functionality.

Solution provided in CRM 2013 SDK 

• In SDK there is a recommend approach to enable the duplicate detection feature on a required entity Create\Update form.
• Download the CRM 2013 SDK, navigate to “SDK\SampleCode\JS\DuplicateDetection\ReadMe.docx” document to get more information.
• Here is an useful article with screen shots on the same.

Note –

• We might need to disable your ‘autosave’, otherwise ‘autosave’ keeps triggering the duplicate detection
• Refer this article how to skip autosave on onload or onsave.
