    Hi Manoj,

    Out of the box duplicate detection rule gives you an alert/popup and allows to save the record. You could utilize that very well.

    Apart from it if you need to use javascript , you could create a function which you can call on Onsave event of create form and put alert.

    Okay.

    All you have  to do is get values from the current record and do web api query to see if you find any other record with those values if yes then display an alert.

    use rest builder to build the request : https://github.com/jlattimer/CRMRESTBuilder/releases  

    In below example i am searching for other contact record using email address and phone number and if count is greater then 0 i m showing an alert. 

    var req = new XMLHttpRequest();
    req.open("GET", Xrm.Page.context.getClientUrl() + "/api/data/v9.1/contacts?$filter=address1_telephone1 eq '5656565655' and emailaddress1 eq 'rawkum%40ms.com'&$count=true", true);
    req.setRequestHeader("OData-MaxVersion", "4.0");
    req.setRequestHeader("OData-Version", "4.0");
    req.setRequestHeader("Accept", "application/json");
    req.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "application/json; charset=utf-8");
    req.setRequestHeader("Prefer", "odata.include-annotations=\"*\"");
    req.onreadystatechange = function() {
    if (this.readyState === 4) {
    req.onreadystatechange = null;
    if (this.status === 200) {
    var results = JSON.parse(this.response);
    var recordCount = results["@odata.count"];
    if recordCount>0
    Xrm.Utility.alertDialog("Duplicate Record Exist");
    }
    } else {
    Xrm.Utility.alertDialog(this.statusText);
    }
    }
    };
    req.send();

    Hi Manoj ,

    You can not show warning message using plugin , you can only shows Business error/message, which basically stops executing plugin, in other words restrict save only. So you have to go with the way which Rawish suggested above .

    For more information about CRMSDKRestBuilder  and prepare code please have a look below video -
