Able to have the same phone number for member and applicant

As the title suggests, in the screenshot above, I am referring to member 4 and applicant 7.

Given that your duplicate check is for phone numbers, Does it make sense for the member to also be an applicant?

Team's Response

We have re-assigned this to FeatureFlaw because it was intended that we check duplicates (phone number) within members and applicants only, and not across. Users might accidentally add a member when they intended to add an applicant instead, and want to easily see the member details to correct their mistake by adding an applicant before deleting the member. Another use case might be an applicant becomes accepted into the CCA and is a member, and the user wants to add a member into the system while referring to the applicant's details in the list.

Duplicate status (if any):
