# Max Allowed Duplicates

This rule is to check for more than one entry for that field in a boc. The number of entries allowed can be set in this rule.

{% hint style="success" %}
Coming Soon: We will be adding the ability to check for duplicates based on other values in your bloc. This rule currently checks this field alone, but by allowing to check duplicates for multiple fields it will give the rule more power and scope.
{% endhint %}
