Prevent Saving Duplicate Contact Email Addresses to Customer Records via SuiteScript
Hello!
We'd like to disallow the creation of new contacts if an existing contact has the same email address. I found 2 SuiteAnswers articles that have code that will accomplish that.

When I added this one (1.0) , it works as expected when trying to add a duplicate contact. I can add new contacts with a different email address. However, when I try to delete a contact I get the same error (You have an existing Contact with this email address). Is there something missing from this code that will allow me to delete contacts?
