Glitch making building a hero

Hello, I encountered a strange glitch on 1.26. I copied a building based on human shop, and somehow all units of that type show in the game as HEROES. So they have their minimap and interface icons, with "default string" name on status.

Is there a way to replicate that glitch intentionally?

When you paste a copied Unit you're asked to give it a new 4 digit rawcode. If the first letter of that rawcode is a capital letter then the game assumes you want it to be a Hero.

thx you a lot. Another question: the building hero interface icon seems to be above the Paladin hero icon. How to prevent that so it's icon will be below the Paladin icon?
