Custom Properties Tab not Linking back to Materials in part file.

The Custom properties tab has been confusing to me from dayone but I was able to set up one that had pull down list's to clickon. These seem to link from part to drawing fine except inside thepart file. Is it possible to assign a material to the part and havethe custom properties tab linked to this. Currently I have a pulldown list with materials typed in that link's to the drawing butnot to the assigned material. Did I just set the tab up wrong? Ihave always felt when you creat the custom properties tab builderthat it was not user friendly and there was not a good heads up asto what steps needed to come next. Thanks in advance for anyreplies.SolidworksParts And Features
