Proprierties vs PDM Card

I'm having a problem with the properties on the PDM Part Card.
When I save a part, I fill in the custom properties, but SolidWorks/PDM doesn't carry over all the properties to the various configurations.
To make this happen, I have to go into the various configurations within the Card and press "Space > Backspace" so that the property is applied to all configurations.

Does anyone have a solution to make all configurations populate equally?
