How to add a new version to the existing Service Catalog product through CloudFormation template

Question

We are able to successfully create a Service Catalog CloudFormation product using the below CFN resource:

```
  MLOPSProduct:
    Type: AWS::ServiceCatalog::CloudFormationProduct
    Properties: 
      AcceptLanguage: en
      Description: "Service Catalog Product description"
      Name: "Annotation Project"
      Owner: "ProductOwner"
      ReplaceProvisioningArtifacts: True
      ProvisioningArtifactParameters: 
        - Description: "SageMaker Project"
          Info:
            LoadTemplateFromURL: !Join [ '', [ 'https://',  '{{resolve:ssm:/mlops/infra/artifact-bucket}}', !Sub '.s3.${AWS::Region}.amazonaws.com/version1/smproject.yaml' ] ]
          Name: "Version1"
      Tags: 
        - Key: sagemaker:studio-visibility
          Value: true
        - Key: Owner
          Value: 'infra'
```

However, I am not able to create the new version of the product. When I change value of *Name* under *ProvisioningArtifactParameters*, CFN stack updates successfully but it **doesn't create a new** version of the Service Catalog product. Its just **replacing** the existing product with new version value.

I don't see the details of the same in the [document](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/aws-resource-servicecatalog-cloudformationproduct.html) as well.  Please let me know if there is an option to create this. Thanks.

Hello.

you need to make sure that the combination of Product Name and Artifact is unique.
Otherwise Cloudformation will update the thing in place.

Please check on this code where I put in the different approach:

```
MLOPSProduct:
  Type: AWS::ServiceCatalog::CloudFormationProduct
  Properties: 
    AcceptLanguage: en
    Description: "Service Catalog Product description"
    Name: "Annotation Project"  # Keep the same product name
    Owner: "ProductOwner"
    ReplaceProvisioningArtifacts: False  # Set to False to create a new version
    ProvisioningArtifactParameters: 
      - Description: "SageMaker Project"
        Info:
          LoadTemplateFromURL: !Join [ '', [ 'https://', '{{resolve:ssm:/mlops/infra/artifact-bucket}}', !Sub '.s3.${AWS::Region}.amazonaws.com/version1/smproject.yaml' ] ]
        Name: "Version2"  # Change the provisioning artifact name to create a new version
    Tags: 
      - Key: sagemaker:studio-visibility
        Value: true
      - Key: Owner
        Value: 'infra'

```
