Add linking of Requests to the Application Portal before consideration
As a former user of GIFTS Classic, this was a feature that we used to verify the existence of a duplicate request. Now the functionality is no longer available and any duplicate request check has to be managed via additional steps.
On GIFTS Classic as well as GIFTS Alta, we used to be able to see the number of different requests sent in by an applicant and we could at that point, decide to link the incoming request to that request.
This function is not available and is causing us a lot of issues. The reason being that we receive a lot of same titled applications from the same organisation but to different program areas. Unfortunately, GIFTS Online automatically assigns requests to previous requests that already exist on the system. We would need for each application even with the same project title to be assessed separately and under a new reference number.
I also agree, this needs to be resolved ASAP
Please bring the feature back.
I couldn't agree more, this is something that needs sorting
We need the feature back.

This is a key feature, please restore.
