Request : Do not increment when a tag is not auto-generated

[is984]

Server (please complete the following information):

• Snipe-IT Version :v4.9.3
• OS: [CentOS 8]
• Web Server: [OpenLiteSpeed]
• PHP Version 7.4.8

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. We use the auto-increment function of Snipe-IT to create asset tags. However, in rare cases, tags created outside of Snipe-IT are used. At that time, the auto-increment function works and the number is shifted.

Describe the solution you'd like I would like you to change it so that it is not automatically incremented when you use a tag that is not automatically generated.

Describe alternatives you've considered I think it is good to add a tag judgment function to the automatic increment function.

Additional context You could implement Observers.php as follows:. I am not good at English and cannot write the code according to the guideline, so I am suggesting this way. I'm sorry.

public function created(Asset $asset)
    {
        if ($settings = Setting::first()) {
                $current_tag ="";
                 if ($settings->zerofill_count > 0) {
                     $current_tag = $settings->auto_increment_prefix.Asset::zerofill($settings->next_auto_tag_base, $settings->zerofill_count);
                 }
                 else{  
                        $current_tag = $settings->auto_increment_prefix.$settings->next_auto_tag_base;
                 }

                if(str_slug($asset->asset_tag) == str_slug($current_tag)){
                        $settings->increment('next_auto_tag_base');
                }
        }

        $logAction = new Actionlog();
        $logAction->item_type = Asset::class;
        $logAction->item_id = $asset->id;
        $logAction->created_at =  date("Y-m-d H:i:s");
        $logAction->user_id = Auth::id();
        $logAction->logaction('create');

    }

Hello, I understand this is not a priority. we don't add new assets often, so a simple workaround cronjob script would suffice for now. Is there any way to set the next auto-increment directly in the db / files?
