Is there a way to set a Property with the name of the FeatureScript a part was created by?

I have a featurescript that produces different parts, and I usually apply it multiple times in one part studio.
When exporting the BOM it would be great to have a Propertiy that tells me with which FS a part was created (e.g. "script name" 1, "script name" 2, "script name" 3 etc.)
Is there a way to add this as a property directly from the FeatureScript?
Thanks for your help,
Timo

But i don't know about adding an automatic number behind it.
Unless you set a variable in the context of the partstudio and have the fs increment that. Each time
Thanks for your answer. I think think this sounds promising, but I don't know how I can set a variable in the context of a partstudio (or how I could increment the variable from within the featureScript)?
It would be awesome if you could quickly explain how this can be done.
Thanks,
Timo

I'll see if I figure it out with the testing, and otherwise it's fine with the second feature.
