[TYPO3-commerce] Product copy pasting

[toni milovan]

Hi,

I have a shop with many similar products that all have the same number 
ff almost the same atricles. So, it would be easyest to just create one 
template products, and then copy/paste it and only manually change the 
article number and differing values.

However, while browsing the forge I have found this:

"Currently copying of prodcts is realy prohibited. The reason for 
this:
If a product is copied the articles with their article-numbers 
and so on are after the copy duplicated in the system. At this stage we 
would have two articles with the same article number and this would 
cause may systems to break. ERp Systems only allow to have one article 
one article number.
TYPO3 itself handles own IDS for articles, which are unique in the 
system and automatically generated, but to have the ability to connect 
to ERP systems we decided to disallow the copy."
I can understand the rason for it, but find it little draconian because 
this greatly complicates products creation. It's almost like forbidding 
the use of hammers because someone can be hurt with it :).

It seems to me that copying was allowed in the past, so I would like to 
reenable ti again on my own responsibility. Can someone direct me where 
to look for that?

Thank you.
