Duplicate product without copying SKU and GS1/EAN

Q&A
1

Hello.
When a user duplicate a product, I don’t want the SKU or EAN to be copied.
First of all, EAN has to be created in ERP to be unique and follow the standard “company ID + number + check digit”.
And second, in our case, we create products in PIM without SKU, the SKU is then updated later when the same product is created in ERP and connection between the system is created.

So can I handle this in any way?
Turn off copy for these fields the same way I can make a field mandatory or make it unique?

We have a similar setup but have the benrfit of atro and product db schemas being in the same db. As they are we use triggers to create the sku.

At the moment, you cannot disable field duplication in the user interface, this option is available only for relations. But you can do it in the metadata of entityDefs by writing this command for the field:

“duplicateIgnore”: true
