Update about Inventor instance properties being overwritten in Vault Item BOM (Incident ID 43326)

Majjek — Tue, 05 May 2026 08:13:26 GMT

Hello,

Is there any update on the issue where Assign/Update Item overrides instance properties from Inventor (recorded as incident ID 43326 at Autodesk)?

When looking at the Vault API and retrieving the BOM object for a file with instance properties (which is just checked in from Inventor), you can find the instance property under the 'InstPropArray' property.

But after a synchronize property action, that property is set to nothing.

Making this functionality practically useless.

Kind regards

Edit: Working with Inventor/Vault 2025.4.

Hello @Majjek ,

This seems resolved in Vault 2027 release.

Hi @gandhey ,

Thanks for your quick reply.

Will this be fixed in 2025?

Our update to 2027 is not scheduled until the end of this year.

Hi @Majjek ,

As there is no business case / escalation here. This will not be fixed in 2025 stream.

Ok that's too bad...

I do have a work around in place already, but it's not that pretty 🙈.
