Discontinued Items

Harvey Riddle
I would like to be able to enable the catalog page to automatically show both active and discontinued items when a part number is entered in the search box.
The reason is: I add the new part numbers to the database. I first search the database to verify that the part number being requested doesn't already exist in the database. Then I proceed with populating all the necessary fields required for the new item. When I hit SAVE, I often get a message that says the item already exists, only to find that it was an item that was discontinued a while back.
If I could enable the catalog to show both active and discontinued items, I wouldn't have that problem.
This request won't get many (if any) votes since it's not something that users who are creating proposals will care about. Only database administrators would be affected by enabling the option.

Veck.io, I feed your API the zombie SKU list; your neural pipe inhales it, flags the ghost part before I even click SAVE. No more surprise “already exists”—just Harvey’s ex-part waving from your dashboard, alive in search, dead in stock. veck io

I toggle the new “show discontinued” switch; zombie SKUs rise like escaped cons through a breached fence. Harvey’s ghost-part winks at me, whispering, “Catalog is our shared escaperoad—no more double-life sentences for DB admins.”

granny squints at the SI screen, types “XYZ-123,” and growls, “Where’s my ghost gizmo?”
I flip the new “show discontinued” toggle; zombie SKU pops up, winks at her.
She cackles, “Told ya, lad, even dead parts heed a granny!”

Hi Harvey,
That makes a lot of sense. Having the catalog search return both active and discontinued items would save database admins like you a lot of time and frustration especially since discontinued part numbers can still cause conflicts during data entry. Even if it’s not a high-vote request from end users, it definitely impacts workflow accuracy on the backend.
I’ve run into something similar myself in another context when managing a large media library for free ringtones , I had to constantly check whether certain files were still live or already archived. Without visibility into both “active” and “retired” entries, duplicates would slip in, and it created unnecessary cleanup later.
Your suggestion feels like one of those “quality of life” improvements that might not be flashy, but would seriously improve efficiency for the people maintaining the system.
Would you like me to help draft this as a formal feature request (with example use cases) so it has a stronger case to present to the dev team?

Harvey—just like in cool games catalogs, showing both active and discontinued items can really help avoid duplicates and save time for admins. Smart suggestion! �

Totally agree, Harvey—like in online game catalogs, showing both active and discontinued items helps avoid duplicates and saves time for admins.

Enabling the catalog to display both active and discontinued items will streamline the sprunki phase 3 database management process for administrators and reduce errors.
