SOLUTION (Relies on the object having a template in the toolset with the variables required on it.)
============================================================
EDIT: It may be possible to write a script using both CopyItem and CopyObject to get around having to refer to a template object. However, as I do not need this level of "fix", I am not looking any further yet. As an aside, I did find that Store stacks are not an issue during my testing.
NEW SPLITSTACK.XML CODE (Place in campaign or override):
========================================

The GUI_SPLITFIX SCRIPT (Add to campaign/module):
==================================
// FIXES STACKING SPLIT FUNCTION
void CreateFixedStacks(object oPlayer, string sNAME, string sTagObject, string sResRefObject, int iStackSize)
{
SetNoticeText(oPlayer, "SPLITTING >>> " + sNAME);
// CREATE A RANDOM TAG FOR TIME BEING
int iRandomNumber = Random(10000);
string sRandomName = IntToString(iRandomNumber);
// RECREATE THE STACKS WITH THE CORRECT VARIABLES & RESTORE THE ORIGINAL TAG
object oNEW = CreateItemOnObject(sResRefObject, oPlayer, iStackSize, sRandomName, FALSE);
DelayCommand(0.1, SetTag(oNEW, sTagObject));
}
void main(string sAction)
{
object oPlayer = OBJECT_SELF;
if(sAction == "FixStack")
{
object oTarget = GetPlayerCurrentTarget(oPlayer);
string sNAME = GetName(oTarget);
// PREPARE DESTRUCTION & RECREATION
string sResRefObject = GetResRef(oTarget);
string sTagObject = GetTag(oTarget);
object oFindSplit = GetFirstItemInInventory(oPlayer);
while(oFindSplit != OBJECT_INVALID)
{
string sRRFind = GetResRef(oFindSplit);
string sTagFind = GetTag(oFindSplit);
if(sRRFind == sResRefObject && sTagFind == sTagObject)
{
SetTag(oFindSplit, "DESTROYSPLIT");
int iStackSize = GetItemStackSize(oFindSplit);
DelayCommand(0.1, CreateFixedStacks(oPlayer, sNAME, sTagObject, sResRefObject, iStackSize));
DestroyObject(oFindSplit, 0.0, FALSE);
}
oFindSplit = GetNextItemInInventory(oPlayer);
}
}
}
==================================================================================
NOTE: This split fix is for when the player splits a stack in their PC's inventory. It is not for any other SPLIT usage, which may use a different XML file. E.g. Splitting STORE stock. However, I imagine a similar fix may be possible if required. (I did not require a fix of Store stacks and testing did not show them to be an issue at this time.)
==================================================================================
UPDATE: Good news! I had no idea that this would work, but it does, and has great implications. I used:
object oTarget = GetPlayerCurrentTarget(OBJECT_SELF);
within a standard script called back from UIObject_Misc_ExecuteServerScript and it returned the object!
Hopefully that means I can start to manipulate the object with that info to fix the split action. I think this may have greater implications for other purposes of the game.
UPDATE 2: OK, so the problem also occurs when a PC picks up a stackable object with different variables on it. I need to look at the "acquisition" side I think. Although, to be fair, this is less of a problem because such items, should, in theory, also have a different name, which would differentiate the stack. Therefore, I will ignore this side of the issue, as the real problem is when the item should remain the same after a split .... including keeping the same variables. The reason it could have been a problem is because I needed to work out a way to differentiate between a stack when applying the new split stack to the PC. Hopefully, I will get around that issue, even if it means a very quick renaming after creation of the items.

A search showed me that this same question was raised 2 years ago, but I am trying to address the problem again now since discovering it for myself.
The Problem: When you have a stack of an item (all with the same variable attached), one of the split piles loses the variable after the split.
I am currently looking at the splitstack.xml, but do not know how to return an "item" or the current "object" being worked upon. Is there a standard method of doing this from an XML script?
Any help woul be appreciated.
Many thanks,
Lance.
