prevent creating duplicate entries in prestashop 1.7

[nirav nanda]

hi, 

i have a issue with product duplicating , as ecommerce store we have large amount of products to list on site, so we wants that the system prevent the saving of any new product entry that already had the exact same name or reference no./ SKU added before.

also prestashop let us to create duplicate categories, attributes and features also.  its so tedious to search and confirm every time before entering new data.

in tally if we try to add product with same reference no. it promptly alert us for repeated id, and cant allow us for reentry the same number again.

 

as this problem is not affect on us only , many more peoples facing this kind of issue.

please guide or solve this issue.
