Work Orders - When you have a Configure Name it resets the name when you add new products
Hi, Can the Work Order Name Generator not reset each time a new product is added? We use a special naming structure, then sometimes merge products. If I make the name first then click the projects to merge, the name resets. Can the name only be generatedException of type "System.Exception" was thrown

If you put a warning at the product level, it displays on a pop-up when the product re-draws. But, the same is not true for subs and nested subs. If you put warnings in them, they only display when you create a W.O. It would be great if they would workTurn cabinet interior to OPen Finish in Foundation Library
