**Your software**  
My Mautic version is: 4.0.1  
My PHP version is: 7.4  
My Database type and version is: mariadb 10.4

**Your problem**  
My problem is:

When doing a QuickAdd of a contact of a user email that already exists it notifies that there is already a contact there, however when I click save it creates a new contact with the same email address. So there are two contacts with emails [test@test.com](mailto:test@test.com)
