Change Config Key Format While Copying


We have a client with a configurator with lots of attributes. The key format is currently set to Formula. There are so many attributes, they want to change to a system generated key format to be more usable. But when copying an existing configuration, there isn’t an option to change the key format on the newly created configuration. Does anyone know of a way to change the key format either on a new or existing configuation?

@dsimone20 - if you are talking about Configuration maintenance. You can copy an active Configuration and as long as it is in Pending status - you can change the key format. 

All new sales orders will then use the New key format. Older sales orders would still use the old format.

Thanks @Debbie Baldwin. Took a few gyrations with the status of the old configuration, but this did the trick. Appreciate the help.

@Debbie Baldwin - Hello Debbie. Do you have any documentation that better explains best practice/how to create new configuration id for an item without invalidating existing sales order lines with the old configuration? I am confused by the Active configuration/Pending status.
