Several layout items set for duplication checking that shouldn't be

Hi,

It looks like several of the date entries in layouts are set with the D option for duplication checking. I am guessing this is an error. The fields are:
Financial Review Date
Date Deceased
Registration Date

I am guessing we mistakenly thought D meant date formatting or something of that nature when we added those fields(I added the date deceased awhile back and guessing I made that mistake). Or am I missing something?

Dates can be useful values to check when looking for duplicate patients. DOB and Date Deceased in particular. Probably not Financial Review Date or Registration Date.
