Overview
We have the following use-case:
For example, they may have bought a ticket during pre-sales, then later bought a ticket as a gift for a friend.
The front-end allows this, thanks for the "allow same participant emails". However the backend does not validate this option. When adding a backend registration, if the participant has already bought a ticket, the admin will get an error message: "This contact has already been assigned to this event."
Looking at Stack Exchange, I found this thread:
https://civicrm.stackexchange.com/questions/15826/enable-multiple-event-registration-for-same-purchaser-participant
Before
Cannot register a contact more than once to the same event.
After
Allow to register.
Technical Details
Needs a test? Also may need a documentation update.
