Come on guys, we're getting off topic. Adding additional apps across multiple users isn't a good solution from an administration standpoint. The information is already available on the parts, Autodesk just needs to expose them to scheduling. The original post isn't a 3rd party application, or custom coding ran by a 3rd party application (Dynamo.) I also speak from an administration standpoint, not just speaking for myself but a company of users that would all like a similar tool.
Been using Revit coming up on a decade, and there's ENOUGH work arounds, add ons, and patches for a lifetime.
Ever submit a ticket to Autodesk support?
"Is it your add ons?" "Well we can't help diagnose why your project browser is crashing opening a view because you have Autosection installed." "Please revert to a clean installation of Revit, try your issue again, and if it still persists respond to this ticket #".
