    When a record is created, sometimes it gets populated correctly and sometimes it creates a duplicate record.
    I really cannot find out why is it happening or which workflow is causing it..

    How to find which workflow is causing a duplicate record creation?

    Any suggestions please?

    Thanks for any help.

    Yes , the only difference there is no pop-up screen that shows the matched records.

    you can check this url

    Hi,

     This looks like a know issue fixed in CRM 2013 UR3. Please see the following link

    Duplicate records are created if Save or Save and Close is pressed multiple times

    Regards,

    In crm2011 , crm populated duplicate record but system does not prevent creation. BTW it is not a bug , duplication detection logic works like that. If you want to prevent to create duplicate record , you can write a plugin pre-validate or pre-create message of the entity.

    Hi Jitehsh,

    But in my case, there is no particular rythm that I can say it's creating a duplicate record.

    Even if I press 'Save' multiple times just to check as per your suggestion, it didn't create a duplicate record.

    It is so random, 1 in 50 times I can say!

    But may be as you said a UR3 update might fix this as there is no certain conclusion of what is causing it!

     

    Thanks for your replies all..
