IBA values when a Part is Copied

Is it possible to not copy the IBA values when a Part is copied?

We have an IBA that is used to indicate if an object has been moved to our ERP system. If a part is copied and the engineer doesn't reset the attribute, then data becomes misleading or confusing.

Thanks,

Steve D.

Thanks to all that replied. A couple of suggestions, the most common was to create a listener to do this. So never having created a listener, I logged a call with PTC to see if they had a sample example. This was their reply.

Upon further investigation I have found following information.

It's not OOTB function and cannot modify the IBA values in "save as" UI. Based on online help, "Save as" function is for COPY a part or CAD document, so the IBA value will be inherited. The function is still achieved with urlActionDelegate and htmltemplate, it is not supported customization technique in 9.0 anymore.

You can refer existing Enhancement SPR 1682394 for this
