Duplicate Alarm

Hi Community.

I would like to configure cards in the format: Front: English - Back: Italian

But it seems like the Duplicate Alarm (when entering the card) is only working for the front side? I want to get a reminder if the back side (Italian) is a duplicate.

How can I activate a Duplicate Alarm for the back side of cards?

Thank you very much

Anki checks only the first field, so you should configure “Italian” as the first field, and then set your notetype as:
Front: English - Back: Italian
(Remember that the first field can be on the back side of your cards and viceversa)

You can also find duplicates manually by using the find duplicates feature
