How to manage duplicates when copying items to another list?

$

I'm working on a project in which I will combine 3 different business reports (captured in 3 sperate lists) by using one InfoPath form.  The reports have several fields in common, but others make them unique.  The master list where the InfoPath form will be housed, will utilize a SP 2010 Workflow to copy items from the master list to the 3 separate lists.  The issue I am having is if/when the master list item is edited (which I need my customers to have that option), my workflow creates another version of the item in the other lists (if they were selected on the InfoPath form).  I am searching for a solution that would update or delete the previous version of the item in any of those 3 lists.  The only unique identifier for each item will be the title. 

I have tried versioning control, but that only works for the master list.  The 3 other list ignore versioning because each time the workflow copies an item from my master list to one of the other list a new ID number is used.  I have also tried enforcing unique values, but this option does not capture updates if/when an item is updated on the master list.

Tools at my disposal:  SharePoint 2013 (although we are moving to SharePoint 2019 within the next year), InfoPath 2013, and SharePoint Designer 2013.

In advance, thank you for any assistance or ideas.
