Option to define the status for duplicated assets and moved assets

Currently the asset status is retained when you duplicate an asset. When you move an asset to a different site, the new asset has the same status as the original record. When you duplicate a decommissioned asset the status of the new asset is decommissioned. In all three cases there is a strong argument to use the default status as set in Database Configuration, NOT READY or OPERATING. This could be achieved with a new System Property with a default for current behaviour (0) so that it does not change processing for existing clients, otherwise the value of the status to use NOT READY or use Database Configuration Default Value (1).

    Great idea and something that sounds so simple it should be there already!

    This is a nice idea. It does make sense to not duplicate an asset into decommissioned state.

    Ideally there would be a Site level setting for:
    - Default Status on Duplicate 
    - Default Status for assets moved to this site

    A System Property would enable these two site level settings so that there is no change to existing clients. This would allow the default to be NOT READY in both cases.
     

    Duplicating a Decommissioned asset and new asset is at Decommissioned status doesn't make sense although you can subsequently change status.
