Non-inventory articles "copy to clipboard" pasting into spreadsheet

Is it possible to add an [active/inactive] field when non-inventory articles are imported into a spreadsheet?

It is not clear exactly what type of copying you are referring to. It looks like you have copied the listing of non-inventory items. If you copy that, you get everything that shows on the screen. This behavior is consistent throughout the program. Since inactive items show, they are included. But active/inactive status is not a variable displayed on that screen, so it does not.

On the other hand, if you are doing a Batch Update, there is a variable named Inactive that has a value of either FALSE or TRUE.

Ah, thank you for pointing me that direction. This helps me to keep order in the article list.
