Is there a way to have a valve automatically choose from a list of properties based on the size and spec of the line it's added to in a P&ID?

For example, let's say I had a 4" line and a 1/2" line. What I am looking for is if I added a ball valve to the 4" line, the "supplier" property of that valve would automatically update to "Supplier1", and if I added another ball valve (from the same block and symbol as defined in the class definitions) to the 1/2" line, the "supplier" property of the second valve would automatically update to "Supplier2".

Ideally, I would be able to create a list of suppliers and have each valve pull from that list automatically and fill in the property based on the size and spec of the line it's added to.

Is this possible? This is to help automate creating the valve list for a group of P&IDs.

Dear @ncookeACBXY ,

This is not standard in Plant 3D.
I use auxalia Plant Link to set the parameters and add a correct valve and its information in Plant 3D based on the line information.

Thank you for the response. Would this be the case for setting end-connections as well or is that possible to do in base Plant 3D through a pipe spec?

Yes but with Plant Spec Driven from auxalia
