PLEASE fix this/add it as a feature/option. Running a report which shows me Item A as multiple items simply because its name changed is absurd. It's not uncommon for us to go to market with a Working Title, if you will, while a final name is being decided. Once that final name is decided, the item updated accordingly, all reports are now a cumbersome and time consuming mess. Or, when an employee enters an item without a category, we identify that mistake, go in and categorize it, it then shows up in the reports as separate things. WHAT? Why?!
E.g. We have to export the Square report and then manually consolidate sales numbers of the same item under different names just to be able to have a semblance of useful information with which to work. Not only that, but we're then having to generally recreate the same reports that exist in Square. If this was how another company I work for developed software for our clients, which deal in hundreds of billions in revenue, we'd not continue to earn the contracts we do.
Though not exactly the same issue, this forum post is basically the same request. Both have been out there for ~4 years now, which is mind boggling.
