Ask to input Part User Parameter on Place

I have a part with a User Parameter "Terminals". When working in the Part I can change this to have the part update the number of Terminals on the part.

My question is

1) When I place this Part into an Assembly, how do I get it to ask the user for the number of Terminals, and

2) how do I get this value retained 'per instance' of the Part in the Assembly.

@adamM94KS re having an input when placed, I'd just use ilogic forms for this:

For the second part you could place ilogic component to automatically create a new instance: image.png

Alternatively you could use an ipart with a custom field. Or you could manually save an instance...

 

If the terminals is a text property only and does not relate to any geometry then you could use assembly instance properties instead...

Use iLogic Copy? Please consider voting for this long overdue idea (not mine):https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/inventor-ideas/string-replace-for-ilogic-design-copy/idi-p/3821399
