Where does Frame Generator pull the data from in the Size drop down menu

-Created an profile

-Made it an iPart

-Authored the part as a structural member, then published it.

 

I thought the Size drop down menu in the frame generator dialog box pulled it's information from the "Designation" column in the Family Table, so I manually added all that information to the iPart.

 

When proceeding to the Size drop down menu, there is a concatenation of Designation, Description and Part Number.

I went to the family table and tried to make a custom expression to only show the Designation and it doesn't work.

 

Any idea how to clean the Size drop down menu up so it looks like the menu on the left?

 

Thanks!

always happens, minutes after posting, solution comes outta nowhere,

 

during the publishing process, I like to include part number and description for when I place custom content parts directly (without using frame generator), this is where the concatenation happens, by re-publishing the part and only including the "Designation" , the drop down menu is clearer
