Hi, It looks like the “Create New” and “Find” Buttons recently switched places which is very confusing. Find should be the first option to prevent duplicates.

Also, is there a way to remove the “Create New” from the form and only have it appear in the pop-up Find window? I’d like to force people to search for a record before creating a new one. Thank you!
