Duplicate articles: Keeping manually changed article numbers
If you change an article number in an article manually, i.e. not a number from the number range and then duplicate it, the number range number is used again for the duplicated article and not the manually changed number.
Example:
Create an article
Number SW123 -> change this to ABC123
Duplicate this article
Desired behaviour:
Duplicated article with number ABC1234
Current behaviour:
SW123
This is particularly annoying with variants, as you then have to renumber many items
