Change classification type in IFC.

*Didn't quite know how to describe my problem in short*

Basically what we're doing is this:

In Revit we use the BB/SfB classification as the Assembly Code/description.

The problem is: even though you can change the list in Revit, it always displays as "Uniformat Classification".

As a result, when exporting to IFC, it  says the BB/SfB is the Uniformat.

So my question is: how do I export these values, and have them recognised as the correct classification?

Can I change this in Revit? Do I have to map them? How to other architects, outside of the US, to this when using their country's classification system?

I also ran into this problem, the only way I found is to change it in the IFC export settings

In the upper field you can refer to any Revit parameter, including the assembly code. And in the bottom field you can enter the a value to override "Uniformat Classication" as IfcClassification by filling in BB/SfB.
