Resolution

- Set the field "Is the Position External Code Auto Generated?" to "Yes".
The External Code for the new positions will be determined based on the Flag "Is the Position External Code Auto Generated?" in the Position Management Settings:
- If YES, the external code will be generated via rule which has to be added to the Object Position as ValidateRule or SaveRule.
- If NO, the external code will be generated based on the name of copied position and added UUID.
