I concur.  Counsel frequently changes the rules, requiring re-production with redaction on (or off), adding a confidentiality header or changing the format but insisting that "the Bates Number must stay the same".  Currently, the only way to re-produce is to unlock the folder, change the settings, re-run the production and pray that the system applies the same numbers to every document.

I understand that this is technically a new production - the output will be different from the first run after all - and something needs to show that it is a different run, but we need to tie back to the first production number somehow.  Maybe a suffix applied to the production number?

(In a perfect world, Counsel would let us tag with DocID instead of page-level production numbers.  DocID would not change across the multiple runs after all.  I'm afraid we're still years away from that level of maturity, though.)
