Have the platform assigning barcodes for products that don't have them #6836

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

I am trying to import a list a products from a small producer who happens to not have bar codes on his products.

Describe the solution you'd like

The column A (bar code) of my import Excel file is empty. When I import my file, I would like the system to automatically :

  1. Detect that bar code is missing
  2. Assign a unique identifier for each of these products

Describe alternatives you've considered

Additional context

Number of products impacted

No response

Time per product

I'm estimating about 3 minutes per products, as I'm having to generate the barcodes myself (using the "add a product" button in the left column), then add the barcodes in the excel file

we could have a special "create_new_code" value that could be put in the code field
