Bom List Merging Lines

Hello,

I have a model. It contains 2 identical bolts. The only difference is part number and user attribute.
So i want the BOM list to show the following format: Part Number, Quantity, Name, UserAttribute
So what I want is:
400  - 1 - Bolt Name 1 - no text
401 - 1 - Bolt Name 1 - user att text
What I get is:
400 - 2 - Bolt Name 1- no text

I think somewhere in the model, or the bom editor i have some rule to merge elements. or sort based on name and not part number, or similar.
Can you please inform me where is this setting?

If you check the box next to the user attribute, a separate number will be assigned. You can create a separate field for the attribute in the parts list.

Hello, Thank you for the feedback.
This is what I have in the Model. I have 2 numbers, I also checked the user attribute. 
The problem I have is in the list after the model. For some reason the BOM list merge this 2 items into one line.

If you click on (1), the screws appear separately. If you click on (2), they appear together.

 

I also think I read somewhere that you can use a model extract to create a filter and then use it in the parts list.

But I haven't used it yet.
