Long Description Editor to show port 2 End Type

Building my new specs, how do I show the Port 2 End Type in the Long Description Editor?  It seems to only grab the Port 1 end type.  Example would be a Flange.  The editor allows to add Short description, Size, Class, Face, END TYPE.  This is where I hit the problem that it shows only FL, I can't seem to get it to show the SW or FNPT in the second end type.  How should I get around this issue? I am sure this will also be the case for Swage and any other mixed end type fittings.

Dear @Anonymous,

 

the end type 2 is not stored in the engineering table of the database. There are the ports table but we have no access to these for the names of the components.
It remains only the manual way to get the end type 2, etc. in the names.

Do you know of any way to add an item to the "Edit Long Description Style" list of material at the left of the edit window?  We have the need to call out certain fittings two different ways because of a size restriction.

There is no way to get the results you want with LDS.  It may be worth considering leaving the size out of the description - main and reduction sizes can be reported per item in both Iso BOMs and Report Creator in its own column.
