Enhancements
Function name changed from DupCheck to findDuplicateRecords for clarity.
Variable arr renamed to outputValues to better reflect its purpose.
Variable gr renamed to aggregateGR for clearer context.
Variable kb renamed to recordGR to remove table-specific implication.
HTML entity > replaced with '>' in the addHaving clause.
Use of addQuery('active', 'true') replaced with addActiveQuery() for standard filtering.
Field access changed from direct property access (e.g. kb.number) to getValue() for consistency.
Array logging improved by using JSON.stringify(outputValues) for readability.
Hardcoded usage moved to a clearly marked section for easier customization.
Added Functionality
New parameter outputFields added to allow dynamic specification of which fields to include in the output.
Each output entry is now a key-value object containing values from the specified outputFields.
Logging per duplicate record now reflects the full output entry using JSON.stringify(outputEntry).
Updated the Readme file to reflect enhancement to the script. In addition, made it clear that there are 2 scripts (which was already the case). And per script explained the functionality in more detail. Including that of the original single script.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
There seems to be multiple scripts for finding duplicate records, but this one is supporting dynamic output! Thank you for submitting!

PR Description:
This pull request updates two files:
readme.md: Updated the readme to describe both scripts: existing "Duplicate records.js", and the refactored "Duplicate Records for any table based on field.js".
Duplicate Records for any table based on field.js: Refactored the original script to support any table and field, introduced dynamic output fields via a new parameter, replaces hardcoded logic with reusable components, and improved logging and readability. Variable naming is updated to reflect the 'any table' nature of this script. The old one contained references to kb.
