I have a custom list in my SharePoint site and there is a webpart which inserts items to that list. This implementation was working fine until recently, when we observed that there are duplicate items getting generated.

Precisely, I observed that webpart is inserting only 1 item. however, 1 more identical item getting generated after brief interval of ~5 minutes.

Following are few more details to identify the cause :

  1. item count 172000

  2. Users in site : ~2000

  3. Content DB size : 200 GB

4: Environment : SP 2013 on Prem.

Thanks

I would suggest to you check below for debugging purpose, this will give you direction

  • Check who is created by of duplicated item being created, is it same as created via webpart or a specific user for all entries.
  • Do you have any workflow being attached to that particular list? If so, what it does. is there any action creating activity.
  • Is there any event receiver attached to list?
