To my knowledge this cannot be done using the TMS GUI. The "Add from
Template" or "Copy Object" allow for a range of numbers to be specified,
but the "TI" suffix would overwhelm and/or break the system. The only work
around would be to create the range " ROMIZ-I12725" to " ROMIZ-I12754" and
have your DBA update the records to suffix "TI" onto the number.

Otherwise, you might want to use the TMS Importer. Then you colleague could
model the numbers in Excel with a formula, and copy and paste the values
into the imported spreadsheet. The downside, is that the records would be
very minimal in cataloguing.
