[Vtigercrm-developers] Enable Duplicate Checking in other modules than users

[Asha]

Hi Nate Peterson,

I would say going to Save and then checking for duplicate would be too late.
Preferably, it should be done even before calling Save.
Say for exampe, In Accounts module, even before Submitting the form, we do
an ajax request to check if the Account with same name exists. If exists,
then we don't submit the form. Otherwise we submit the form for Save.
