Cut lists and Templates

This seems like it should be easy, alas I can't seem to figure it out.

I want to create a template weldment model. When I create a new weldment I would start with that template. In that template when I create a body I would like the cut list to magically populate with several custom properties. Essentially the same thing you do with custom properties in a regular part but with the cut list. Is this possible because I can't seem to figure it out and I'm not finding it explained how to do it anywhere either.

Thanks,

I wanted to edit to add that the first thing I tried was to add the properties to the weldment properties. When you do that in a weldment it adds those properties to any new items made. I did this it shows up when I open the template but when I start a new part using the template the properties are no longer there.
