Allow duplicates in Publish Description
We have a different document image storage system - which I have integrated into SoftPro - that handles versioning of the documents. We would like to use that functionality and apply it to SoftPro but during the Publish step the user is asked for a Description - this description appears to have a unique constraint. If the user tries to describe a document w/ the same description of another document that is already published - a dialog informs the user that there is already a document w/ that description and suggests another name. The user is not allowed to use the same description. I would imagine this is how SoftPro handles versioning of the same document - just a guess. Is there a way to let the user use the same description for several 'versions' of the document? We'll handle versioning on the backend document storage application.
Re: Allow duplicates in Publish Description
Currently, there is not. The naming of the attachment and the publishing internals are all contained within the default Publish print job handler we provide. We recently received a similar request to allow for more control over the naming process, so I will add your post to that request as supporting information.
