Depending on if a part is manufactured, purchased, or configured we will use either the "Document Name", "Configuration Name", or "User Specified" bill of materials options. It looks like this is dependent on the \$PARTNUMBER field (at least in a design table as \$DOCUMENT, \$CONFIGURATION, user entered text).
Is is possible to create a list in the property tab builder with the bill of materials options in order to set the name based on the proptery tab and not have to go to properties -> bill of materials options -> choose setting every time?
