Add dupe_check to API v4 Contact Create

v4 of the API does not seem to have a dupe_check parameter for Contact Create. It would be good to have this so we can migrate v3 code over easier.

dupe_check in v3 felt like a bit of a hack to me, as it was a rater blunt instrument and iirc would actually throw an exception if a dupe was found. The more configurable civicrm_api3('Contact', 'duplicatecheck') action seems more worthwhile to port over imo.

Hi,

Thank you for raising an issue to help improve CiviCRM. As you may know, this issue has not had any activity for quite some time, so we have closed it.

We would like you to help us to determine if this issue should be re-opened:

• If this issue was reporting a bug, can you attempt to reproduce it on a latest version of CiviCRM?
• If this issue was proposing a new feature, can you verify if the feature proposal is still relevant? Did it get the concept-approved label? Have other people also shown interest? Could it be implemented as an extension?

If the answer to either question is yes, please feel free to comment or re-open the issue. Please also consider:

• Is it something that you could help implement, either by sending a patch or hiring someone who can?
• Would you be willing to fund the work, either through a CiviCRM partner, or the Core Team?

Thank you for your help and contributions to CiviCRM.

P.S. This is an automated message, see infra/gitlab issue 20. We understand that automatic responses are annoying, but given the number of open issues as the project evolves, we need a bit of help to triage and prioritise the most relevant issues.
