Create a separate form to mark products as obsolete #6657

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

[suggested by @stephanegigandet ]

Currently, on the producers' platform, to mark products as obsolete ("retired from market"), we have to upload an Excel file with two columns: barcode + obsolete. It shares the same process as uploading new products, which can be counterintuitive.

Describe the solution you'd like

We probably should make a separate form to mark products as obsolete, where we would just accept any Excel file with a barcode column, or even a barcode list separated by commas or something else.

@manon-corneille this might interest you.

Thanks @alexgarel very interesting indeed!

I spend a fair amount of time helping producers archive products. To save time I imagined this mock-up so that producers are autonomous :

How difficult this would be please? :)
