Otherwise, the existing Chase Item will exhibit the same behavior as before, where it becomes invalidated once the user creates the new Item.

Instead, please use alternative means of preventing duplicate Items, such as providing <a href=\"https://plaid.com/docs/link/duplicate-items/#implement-pre-link-messaging\">pre-Link messaging</a>.
