This code snippet prevents duplicate submissions in Gravity Forms by checking if multiple field values match existing entries. If an entry with the same values already exists, the form submission is blocked, and validation messages are displayed for the relevant fields. This ensures data integrity and prevents unintended duplicate entries.

This snippet can be used for as many forms as you want by duplicating the array on the top.

The 77 should be replaced with the child form id and the relevant field id's should be replaced with your actual field id's. Additionally, when it says 'message' on the bottom, replace the word message with the actual message you want to display. This snippet was designed to validate against a name, number and date field but can be customized to work for any fields.
