    Hi unbeatable,

    You need to retrieve the records based on your criteria using WebApi.retrieveMultipleRecords. If you find any data, then u need to set formNotification like what u did earlier.

    Good luck!

    Hi,

    why don't you use OOB Duplicate detection rule to achieve your requirement instead of writting custom code?

    www.advantage.co.uk/.../

    if (entityText == entityText) {

                   formContext.ui.setFormNotification("Duplicate Record Found.", "INFO");

               }

    Above code does not make sense. You are comparing the same variable. please tell your exact requirement so that we can help you?

    Please mark my answer verified if i were helpful
