      Description

      Help for the "Update contact on a duplicate match?" setting says:

      "If you are using this profile as a contact signup and editing form, OR in an online contribution page, OR in an event registration page - this option controls what happens if the data matches an existing contact record."

      However this setting is ONLY used for contact signup and editing forms. For anonymous users - online contribution, membership signup and event registration forms always use the following behavior:

      • Check for first matching contact in the DB (using default Strict contact matching rule - which is Email Address by default)
      • If match found, use the matching contact for the transaction

      Fix the help to reflect the actual behavior.
