Feature Request - Variable linking in string properties

anthony_tatum458

It would be awesome if, when entering data into a string based property field, you could reference Configuration and/or Feature variables present.

For example, as shown in the image below, I have the part properties, Width, Height, Name.
For the Name field, I would like to name it: "Nut, Hex, #Width x #Height, 1-72"
and have it read: "Nut, Hex, 1 in. x 1 in., 1-72"




Is this a possibility or does the feature already exist in some form that I am simply unaware of?

Thanks!

I need this feature, too. My part number scheme includes the length of a pipe in inches. I would like to simply have that configuration's Part Number property read from the current value of the #Length configuration variable. That would autopopulate my drawings, too. For now, I have to manually enter the part number two times, once in the actual config box and another in the configured parameters.

I'd like to use the feature to have a variable (#Length) populate the BOM

Here is how I populate the BOM with stocksize and featurescript (big thanks to @MBartlett21 for most of the code)
