Duplicate check with custom fields

[jgrimaldos]

Hi, is there a way to add a custom field to the available indexes on the duplicate check that gets done on import? I'm talking about Sugar 6.1 Community Edition

Maybe this could work (I used it with 6.2, but with normal fields in a custom module created with module builder):
Add an index definition in modules\<modulename>\vardefs.php (plus Repair):

 'indices' => array ( 
        array('name' =>'idx_my_index_name', 'type' =>'index', 'fields'=>array('field1', 'field2')),
  ), 
  

This example defines an index for two fields (named 'field1' and 'field2') in that module where the combination of these field values should be unique. The field array should contain one or more entries.
