What is your source for these numbers please? We already have 6225933 assigned
to this in DBG

Design number 37597 is used by LEGO to refer to the string with a diameter of
1mm that was included in sets from 2017-2021. However, the design number in this
case is not unique for the length of string provided, whether it be 150cm or
300cm, but the element numbers are (6219044 for 150cm and 6225933 for 300cm).

* 
x77cc300 String, Cord Medium Thickness 300cm

So the element numbers are currently in the right place in our catalog.

Now what to do about the design number.

Since we cannot have the same design number on two separate parts in the catalog,
37597 cannot be added as an alternate item number for either of the above entries
unless we add an additional character to it (such as 37597a and 37597b). In this
case, I don't think it would be all that helpful to add this design number
to these entries as alternate item numbers given that the new numbers would be
about as useful as the current ones.

What we could do is renumber the above entries as 37597c150 and 37597c300 for
the separate lengths. That would combine the current arcane item numbers with
the real design number.

I will see what the other admins think.

I'm not an admin, but as a BL user I like the idea of having the ID in the
catalog, as searching for 37597* would show both results.
