Override QTY in BOM not working when Instance Properties are assigned to that row.

[mark_a_houston]

Hello, has anyone found that the "Override QTY" in BOM is not possible if an instance property has been assigned to any custom property in the BOM? The Override works as expected until an instance property is assigned elsewhere on that row and then the "QTY" value returns to "ITEM QTY" and is then greyed out and not editable. Is this as designed behaviour or am I missing something?

Hi! Indeed, once the instance property is listed and unmerged, the QTY override will be blocked.

Many thanks!

Thanks Johnson, can you advise if is there any work around to be able to manually edit / override the QTY once an instance property has been applied? It appears that once the instance property is applied to the part that the instances unmerge in the BOM automatically regardless of whether the Merge / Unmerge is ticked. We want to keep the BOM and Parts List in sync and so don't want to edit at the drawing parts list level only. Thanks again for your response.

Hi Mark,

I am sorry I am not aware of a way to do that.

Many thanks!
