When you clone a category, the topic slugs are automatically updated to be unique by adding a hyphen and some autonumber. I'd like to have a more flexible way to update the slugs when cloning a category.

Imagine the case where you want to use categories for different product versions. Example category "1.0" and a topic with the slug v1.0-topic-a. Now you clone the category to create "2.0". Instead of having a topic slug v1.0-topic-a-1, I'd rather have something e.g. like v2.0-topic-a. This way, the software could easily refer to the correct documentation based on its product version.

This can be tricky, if the slug contains already a version. Possible solution to discuss could be a prefix that you can freely define on a category level and which is automatically added to the slugs of the topics inside that category.

So on the category 1.0, you set the prefix as "v1.0", the topic slug by default is topic-a, but the effective slug is v1.0-topic-a. When you clone the category as 2.0, you set the slug prefix to "v2.0", the effective topic slug is now v2.0-topic-a.
