I want a pop up alert if account create with simillar name?

[Deepika61]

Hi All,

Actually i have a requirement that i have Account form, on that name field with string field, so whenever user will create new record if he type similar name which already exist . example  Asian Paints is one account,

1.so if he wants create with same name then it won't submit a record 

2. second senario was " Asian paints" , if he type something simillar like Asian or Paints , then it pop up a alert message saying " already a record exist similar name , do you want proceed?, if he click ok it save otherwise , will update new name

Please help me to achieve this

Thanks

Hi @Deepika61 

You need to write script for this and check all records if name is same or not, It may impact the system, as number of records more which can time to check and return the results

Thanks for the response

Actually when if account is created with existing same name , i have wrote client script 

but my concern if account is created with similar kind of name like suppose he create a account name with "Asian" but in system there is record with name " Asian Paints" , then i need a pop up alert message saying " already a record exist similar kind of name , do you want proceed?, if he click ok it save otherwise , will update new name?

Thanks

Hi Deepika, 

In your code change the update the query to contains. But it is not recommended. In most cases, names are almost similar. You can recommend add prefix (or) suffix to that record name(number (or) ID of the record as prefix (or) suffix).

If I could help you with your Query then, please hit the Thumb Icon and mark it as Correct !!

Thanks & Regards,

Yes, most of the names or simillar but the idea was like if it is similar they may want to change the name , if we have pop up alert with ok and cancel , if they continue with same name they will go with ok otherwsie , they will click cancel and change the name

Can you please provide me a same script for this if possible?

Thanks
