Setting unique value in contact

[Pocketphone]

Hey guys, as a complete newbie to Sugar, I'm hoping my problem is an easy fix.

When entering a new customer details Sugar checks for duplicate value for names, however, I would like it to check for duplicate value in Mobile number & not allow duplicate value as every one is unique. However I still would like it to allow a NULL value?

If you need more info to help me please let me know.

Thnx in advance everyone

You would have to edit the

 function checkForDuplicates($prefix){ 
  

function in modules/Contacts/ContactFormBase.php around line #39. You would have to add your field to the SQL and set up some code around that to check for duplicates.

Thanks kbrill

So far I can visualise everything I want to achieve out of SugarCRM, but it appears I'm going to have to learn how to program PHP to achieve it seems as I'm going to be using SugarCRM for the next 30+ years, that's the new direction I'm going to take

Moderators, if your reading this post, may I suggest a forum just for newbies where we can ask even the dumbest of questions, just a thought
