Add SHOP/FIELD assignment in catalogue

Add SHOP/FIELD assignment in catalogue

I believe that with the revamp of the catalogue and spec builder - we should be able to assign the SHOP/FIELD property to a part family.

 

The reason for this is that while you can assign the component categories broadly (elbows = SHOP, valves = field), there are many many occasions where you may need to override that (BW elbows = SHOP, THDF elbows = FIELD). Currently the only way to do this is in the spec itself, which presents a risk that it will be missed since the same part could end up in multiple specs.

 

Creating the custom property as stated in this article does not seem to work:

Can this please be included in the future as a feature in catalogue/spec builder?

I've had my catalog set up this way for years with no issue. Whatever I assign in the catalog Shop_Field property carries over to the spec and from the spec to the model. Note that the property name is case-sensitive.
